lyrics

Joni Joni

You were comin from some strange affairs when I
Found you on the hotel stairs you were
Waitin out the rain and scared of
Everything
I saw you needed my protection
Took you in gave you my affection
Even witnessed to your resurrection
Happening
Oh Joni Joni how can it be that you loved all them bad boys but you never loved me My my my I think I see
All those years I spent in tryin
Holdin you when you were cryin
Even when I knew that you were lyin
Yes I knew
Ah but when you found your love had faded
Just like a movie scene you played it
And actor on the screen you made it
Seem so true
Oh Joni Joni how can it be that you loved all them bad boys but you never loved me My my my I think I see
Now I see you movin down the line bettin on the race Where the buses run on time and disappear without a trace And the only thing that’s left behind are the lines on your face Never mind never mind never mind
You’re runnin in place Just runnin in place
I hear you’re on the street again
You’re all dressed up in the falling rain
Sayin nothin’s lost and nothin’s gained
And nothin’s real
So I’ll be leavin town with mixed emotions
Girl you’ve earned my undying devotion
With your velvet voice and your cool commotion
Hard to feel
Oh Joni Joni how can it be that you loved all them bad boys but you never loved me My my my I think I see
