lyrics

Johnny Beats Me Every Time

That woman’s like a queen
She skips around the tiles
Wears a long, silk black skirt
And a smile like a child’s

But she’s not so innocent
Won’t want to hold your hand
Leaves halfway through playing chess
‘Cause she prefers Candyland

C:
A good woman is hard to find
Johnny beats me every time
A good woman is hard to find
Johnny beats me every time
I think it’s time I quit this game

You can try, I know you’ll fail
She’s a pearl lain in your hand
Once you close your fingers
She’s jumped and on the lam

Yeah, good love is so hard to find
Bein’ lonely’s just never kind
I’d like to say that I don’t mind
But I do
