You know the pictures we used to paint on the outside
And all the fine songs we used to sing on the outside
But coming in against isn't that bad
Johnny, don't break your mother's heart, Johnny
It seems a lifetime should go to show that the outside
Should paint a picture to let us know that the inside
Isn't that bad a place now I should know?
It's bound to lift your spirits when you're low
Coming in again isn't that bad
Johnny, don't break your mother's heart. It's your mother's heart, Johnny
Johnny, don't tear the family apart. You'll break your mothers heart, Johnny
Won't you come back in?
