The music video seems to suggest tha...
[Verse 1]
It's a sleepless night, she's callin' your name
It's a lonely ride, I know how you want her
Again and again, you're chasin' a dream yeah
But Johnny my friend, she's not what she seems
[Chorus]
Johnny B, how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red
Oh why can't you see, oh Johnny B
[Verse 2]
And when you drive her home, is she sittin' real close
Does she make you weak, well that's the way that she wants you
You're strung out again, she's taken you over
You've been here before, why can't you let go
[Chorus]
Johnny B, how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red
Oh why can't you see, oh Johnny B
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
And when she calls your name, my sweet Johnny B
You can drive all night and you know she'll be waiting
To love you again, her kiss is her poison
Forever inside you, wherever you go
[Chorus]
Johnny B, how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red
Oh why can't you see, oh Johnny B
[Chorus]
Johnny B, how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Just listen to me
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red
Oh why can't you see, oh Johnny B
Yeah
[Outro]
Oh, can't you see, oh, Johnny B
Oh, can't you see
