Basim - Johnny Lyrics

Tell me why they only bring you flowers when you're dead
Can't move or get out of your bed
Man, that's kinda messed up
Yeah, that's really messed up

I met a man called Johnny at a hospice
My dad was in his room 'cause he was more sick
But johnny, he still had some more energy (energy)
He had some things he wanted to say to me (say to me)
He said, "If there was only one thing I could redo
I would've put myself first before the people (people)
Remember yourself, go love and sing
Don't give a damn 'bout what people think"

I cried
And you're the only one who knows it
It took me all these years to compose it
On your last day
I still remember you say

Tell me why they only bring you flowers when you're dead
Can't move or get out of your bed
Man, that's kinda messed up (that's kinda messed up)
Yeah, that's really messed up (yeah, that's really messed up)

Tell me why they only bring you flowers when you're dead
Can't move or get out of your bed
Man, that's kinda messed up (that's kinda messed up)
Yeah, that's really messed up (yeah, that's really messed up)

Oh (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
Ooh-oh-oh (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
Ooh-oh-oh (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
Ooh-oh-oh (you got it, you got it, got it)

People always brought him wine or whisky
And to honest that is kinda risky
'Cause Johnny had an issue with alcohol (alcohol)
That nobody knew that he had at all
Now he's gonna die but Johnny ain't afraid
He's waiting in line
Don't we all do the same, yeah
Oh, Johnny, rest in peace and power
Under an ocean of flowers

I cried
And you're the only one who knows it
It took me all these years to compose it
On your last day
I still remember you say

Tell me why they only bring you flowers when you're dead
Can't move or get out of your bed
Man, that's kinda messed up (that's kinda messed up)
Yeah, that's really messed up (yeah, that's really messed up)

Tell me why they only bring you flowers when you're dead (you're dead)
Can't move or get out of your bed
Man, that's kinda messed up (that's kinda messed up)
Yeah, that's really messed up (yeah, that's really messed up)

Oh (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
Ooh-oh-oh (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
Ooh-oh-oh (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
Ooh-oh (you got it, you got it, you got it)
Oh (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
Ooh-oh-oh (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
Ooh-oh-oh (Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
Ooh-oh-oh (you got it, you got it, got it)
