When Johnny came home with a gift for me
He said I bought it for you because I love you
He said I bought it for you 'cause it's your birthday too
He was so very nice
He was so very kind
To think of me
At this point in time
He used to think of her
She used to think of him
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw tears were in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me, Oh God
Johnny
Don't ppoint that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please I beg don't do this to me
Though he was ashamed that he had took a life
Johnny came home with another wife
And he often remembered how it used to be
Before that special occasion, 1963
There are too many ways that you can kill someone
Like in a love affair, when the love has gone
He used to think of her
She used to think of him
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me, Oh God
Johnny
Don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please I beg don't do this to me
Johnny
Don't point that gun at me
Can I save my life at any price?
For God sakes won't you listen to me?
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in my eyes
He never meant to hurt me, Oh God
Johnny
Don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please I beg don't do this to me
Johnny
Don't point that gun at me
Can I save my life for any price?
For God sakes won't you listen to me?
I just want you to be mine
And I don't want this world to shine
I don't want this bridge to burn
Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?
I just want to feel free
I will always feel free
