Cats Eyes Lyrics by Godley & Creme

Body of Work (1978-1988)

0

[Verse 1]
Johnny's so in love
Johnny's so in love
Johnny's so in love with the boss's woman
Johnny is a square
Johnny isn't there
Johnny thought it was love but she was only slumming
Oh, he hangs around till she goes home
Just to see her face going by in the chrome (By in the chrome)
'Cause she's a picture
Johnny she's a big dumb platinum
Smack her face and tell her Johnny
[Refrain]
Hey girl, I'm sick of your lies
Going after your love is like following cats eyes
[Verse 2]
Johnny's shedding tears
Wet behind the ears
Johnny is as green as the grass that's growing
Johnny's getting bruised
Johnny's being used
Johnny's having fun without her husband knowing
'Cause he stays at home to count the money he's made
While she goes chasing after rough trade (Rough trade)
You're a picture, and it isn't funny
Now get down there and tell her Johnny
[Refrain]
Hey girl, I'm sick of your lies
Going after your love is like following cats eyes
[Bridge]
He said he knows what he's doing
But he's making a fool of himself
Here's a broken mirror Johnny
Take a good hard look at yourself
Be careful Johnny, with the promise you made
Or it will blow up in your face like a hand grenade
Let me tell you what it's all about
Tears are just emotional fallout
[Verse 3]
Johnny's so in love
Johnny's so in love with the boss's woman
Johnny is a square
Johnny isn't there
Johnny thought it was love but she was only slumming
She say goodbye
Bon voyage
You're just a grease monkey working at Joe's garage
And you're a picture and it isn't funny
So get down there and tell her Johnny (Tell her Johnny)
[Refrain]
Hey girl, I'm sick of your lies
Going after your love is like following cats eyes
[Outro]
Following cats eyes
Following cats eyes
Following cats eyes
Following cats eyes
Following cats eyes
Following cats eyes
