New Order - 1963

He was so very nice, he was so very kind

He used to think of her, she used to think of him

Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me

I just want you to be mine

For God's sake won't you listen to me?

Johnny, don't point that gun at me

I saw tears were in his eyes

I will always feel for you

Can I save my life at any price?

Like in a love affair, when the love has gone

And I bought it for you 'cause it's your birthday, too

To think of me at this point in time

I used to think of him, he used think of me

He told me to close my eyes

My gift would be a great surprise

I saw tears were in his eyes

But please, I beg, don't do this to me

And though he was ashamed that he had took a life

Johnny came home with another wife

And I often remembered how it used to be

Before that special occasion, nineteen-sixty-three

There was too many ways that you could kill someone

He told me to close my eyes

My gift would be a great surprise

Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
