GSo he told you that you're the dream
That he's been D7searching for
And he Gtold you he's never met
Someone like D7you before
And I can Ghear him telling you
Your lips taste Cjust like cherry wine
But did he Gtell you
That he's Cknown as Johnny GOne Time
Did he tell you that your heart
Would soon D7become another trinket
On his Cbracelet of broken Ghearts
Did he tell you that the Cmorning sun
Would Gfind you patching up your D7shattered pride
And searching for the missing Gparts
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in Cflames shaped like mine
Did he Gtell you that he's Cknown as
Johnny One GTime
So he told you that he'd never 
Lead your D7heart astray
And he Gtold you that he'd love you
Forever and a D7day
And I can Ghear him telling you
That he's a Cshy and bashful kind
But did he Gtell you 
That he's Cknown as Johnny GOne Time
Did he tell you that your heart
Would soon D7become another trinket
On his Cbracelet of broken Ghearts
Did he tell you that the Cmorning sun
Would Gfind you patching up your D7shattered pride
And searching for the missing Gparts
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in Cflames shaped like mine
Did he Gtell you that he's Cknown as
Johnny One GTime
