about

A 60's girl-group song about the dead boyfriend who won't stay dead

lyrics

My old boyfriend Johnny, was so handsome and cool
Daddy never liked him, cause he broke all the rules
But I fell for his fire, and his hunger for thrills
But racing for pinks pushed his luck to the brink, the black day at Heartbreak Hill
I wailed and I cried when my sweet Johnny died
And I prayed he come back someday
But now I’m wishing that prayer away

‘Cause now he’s back (He’s back, my dead boyfriend’s back
He’s back and I’m blue (he’s back, my dead boyfriend’s back)
He was so sweet before, now he’s outside the door
And trying to claw his way through
Yeah he’s back (he’s back, my dead boyfriend’s back)
And he’s dripping with gore (he’s back my dead boyfriend’s back)
And he won’t go away, so how do I say
I don’t think that I love you anymore

But he’s not like the others, the ones who shuffle and groan
My sweet darling Johnny is just trying to come back home
But his skin is all rotten, and there’s blood on his face
And the way that he was looking at me has me panicked and oh so afraid
I wailed and I cried when my dear Johnny died
And I prayed he’d come back someday
Now I’m wishing that prayer away

Because he’s back (He’s back, my dead boyfriend’s back)
He’s back and I’m blue (he’s back, my dead boyfriend’s back)
He was gentle before, now he’s outside the door
And trying to claw his way through
Yeah he’s back (he’s back, my dead boyfriend’s back)
And he’s dripping with gore (he’s back my dead boyfriend’s back)
And he won’t go away, so how do I say
I don’t think that I love you anymore
