Johnny Raven
free and untamed is how you grown
settling down ain't your nature
that you never own (you never own)
you're hungry for a new thrill
stray your will
you got you a need
one girl never can feel
[Chorus:]
oh, Johnny Raven
by and by
you're gonna leave my nest
another nest to try
Johnny Raven, I believe you love me
but you're gonna leave me
when your restless heart says fly
(fly, fly, fly-y-y)
look at me, I'm a girl
I feel love so deep
and ain't it a shame I want for one man
I can't hope to keep (can't hope to keep)
I need you, oh
but I ain't such a child
to think I can cage your bird
born to be wild
[chorus]
oh, oh, ohh
oh, oh, ohh
I believe one day
Johnny Raven, by and by
you're gonna leave my nest
and I'm gonna die
Johnny Raven, by and by
(by and by)
you're gonna leave my nest
and I'm gonna die
Johhny Raven, by and by
(by and by)
you're gonna leave my nest
and I'm gonna die
settling down ain't your nature
that you never own (you never own)
you're hungry for a new thrill
stray your will
you got you a need
one girl never can feel
[Chorus:]
oh, Johnny Raven
by and by
you're gonna leave my nest
another nest to try
Johnny Raven, I believe you love me
but you're gonna leave me
when your restless heart says fly
(fly, fly, fly-y-y)
look at me, I'm a girl
I feel love so deep
and ain't it a shame I want for one man
I can't hope to keep (can't hope to keep)
I need you, oh
but I ain't such a child
to think I can cage your bird
born to be wild
[chorus]
oh, oh, ohh
oh, oh, ohh
I believe one day
Johnny Raven, by and by
you're gonna leave my nest
and I'm gonna die
Johnny Raven, by and by
(by and by)
you're gonna leave my nest
and I'm gonna die
Johhny Raven, by and by
(by and by)
you're gonna leave my nest
and I'm gonna die
