Johnny Can't Make Her

Written by Louise Goffin & Bill Olvis.

Johnny's in love 
And it's changing him 
'Cause he don't know 
Just where to begin 
Johnny's in love 
Johnny can't make her 

She's too close for comfort 
She's too far to touch 
She's so complicated 
Why does she mean so much to Johnny? 
Johnny can't make her 

What you gonna do, now 
Johnny tonight? 
What you gonna do now 
Johnny tonight? 

She's got the prettiest eyes 
She's got the prettiest smile 
Here she comes now walking 
down the aisle 
But when he goes to her 
She just walks by 

And he's never had it so hard before 
Roaming the streets all night 
He's trying to forget her 
But it's a losing fight 

What you gonna do, now 
Johnny tonight? 
What you gonna do, now 
Johnny tonight? 

And somewhere by the boardwalk 
it's getting kind of late 
Johnny can't make her 

What you gonna do, now 
Johnny tonight? 
What you gonna do now 
Johnny tonight? 

Johnny can't make her . . .
