It's ok to be a private person John, It's ok,
|
You have to watch for isolation though, that can be dangerous,
|
I don't show much of myself in life but in my music I tend to put it all in,
|
It's like I've got a need to get it all out of me,
|
I can't be what anybody wants me to be, and neither can you,
|
I'm only learning to operate in this world, and you can too,
|
I'm going to do it Johnny, oh I'm going to do it!
|
I'm moving towards that thing that's why I am here.
|
|
It's OK John Joe, It's OK
|
It's ok John Jones, It's OK,
|
It's not the end of the world, it doesn't matter if I'm alone.
|
|
I do believe in love Johnny, but I don't know anything about it,
|
I know about depending on people,
|
I know about controlling people,
|
I know about using people until I'm tired of them,
|
That's what I've always done, at least I what I used to do, not that I'll do it anymore,
|
and I know about trying to get someone to love me as a challenge,
|
and then not wanting them when I have them,
|
but real love? no, I don't know anything about that,
|
I still believe in love I just don't know what it is, not really,
|
I've told people "I love you", many times,
|
but I didn't know what I was talking about, not really,
|
I thought I did at the time, it's OK though Johnny, I'm glad I know this,
|
Remember what Marvin Gaye said; "Millions never will, they never will"
|
He was discussing a different subject at that point,
|
I'm lucky to know what I know,
|
and I'm sure loads of other people know exactly what love is,
|
but when it comes to me, I'm confused, needy, not thinking I need someone with love,
|
Of course If I was totally at peace, and I'm not, I would then be in a good position to love somebody, but If I'm depending on another person, then I'm in trouble and so are they.
|
|
It's OK John Joe, It's OK
|
It's ok John Jones, It's OK,
|
It's not the end of the world, it dont care if I'm alone.
|
|
Old and unhappy, I'm unhappy living like this,
|
feeling ugly and tired,
|
Jaded inside, I've tried hard to make it better,
|
I worked hard to find some peace, but at best it's only fleeting,
|
I can't last much longer like this.
|
Is there a new life at the end of some journey?
|
I'd like to think so.
|
|
It's OK John Joe, It's OK
|
It's ok John Jones, It's OK,
|
It's not the end of the world, cos I think I'm meant to be alone.
|
It's OK John Joe, It's OK
|
It's ok John Jones, It's OK,
|
It's not the end of the world, cos I think I'm meant to be alone.
