Lyrics

Johnny Lightning (female version)

Verse 1
You’d better watch out, there’s a man on the loose.
He’s been caught before but escaped the noose.
He’s got a long line and he knows how to dance.
You’d better stay away from him. You don’t stand a chance.

Chorus
His name is Johnny Lightning, and he thinks he’s hot.
He thinks he’s number one. I think he’s not.
Believe me, he’s not very nice.
They call him Johnny Lightning ‘cause he never loves the same girl twice.

Verse 2
Listen to me, he’s a man on the run.
He just wants to have parties and fun.
You’ll be lucky if he learns your name,
‘Cause he’s a one night lover. He’s just playing a game.

Chorus
His name is Johnny Lightning, and he thinks he’s hot.
He thinks he’s number one. I think he’s not.
Believe me, he’s not very nice.
They call him Johnny Lightning ‘cause he never loves the same girl twice.

Verse 3
He’s a big spender, so he can get what he likes.
He owns a dozen cars and two motorbikes.
It’s plain to the stars above,
The man they call Johnny Lightning is the one I love.

Chorus
Your name is Johnny Lightning, and you thinks you’re hot.
You think you’re number one. I think you’re not.
Believe me, you’re not very nice.
They call you Johnny Lightning ‘cause you never fuck the same girl twice.

Tag (repeat and fade out to the end)
I call him Johnny Lightning and I wish he’d love me twice.
