[Verse 1]
So he told you that you're the dream
That he's been searching for
And he told you that he'd never met
Anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you
"Your lips taste just like cherry wine"
But did he tell you
That he's known as Johnny One Time?

[Chorus]
Did he tell you that your heart
Would soon become another trinket
On his bracelet of broken hearts?
Did he tell you that the morning sun
Would find you patching up your shattered pride
And searching for the missing parts?
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames
Shaped like mine?
Did he tell you
That he's known as Johnny One Time?

[Verse 2]
So he told you
That he'd never lead your heart astray
And he told you that he'd love you
Forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you
That he's a shy and bashful kind
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time

[Chorus]
Oh, did he tell you that your heart
Would soon become another trinket
On his bracelet of broken hearts?
And did he tell you that the morning sun
Would find you patching up your shattered pride
And searching for the missing parts?
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames
Shaped like mine?
Oh, did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time?
Did he tell you that your heart
Would soon become another trinket
On his bracelet of broken hearts?
Did he tell you that the morning sun
Would find you patching up your shattered pride
And searching for the missing parts?
Oh, did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames
Shaped like mine?
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time?
