You gave your love to me and you fooled around.
I told you I loved you and the next day I found out.

I asked my mama once how do I know he's [bad word] 
She said "Honey you never will, just love him the best you can do"

But I just can't take it any longer
Now is my time to be stronger.

Keep away, keep away, keep away, keep away from Johnny

I'll keep my love away from you
away from you, away from you.

Me and those other guys, we're gonna play a game
We'll throw my heart around until you go insane.
Just like when we were young,
you stole my toy gun.
You held it over my head and I used to cry [bad word] 

But I just can't take it any longer
Now is my time to be stronger.

Keep away, keep away, keep away, keep away from Johnny

I'll keep my love away from you
away from you, away from you.

But I just can't take it any longer
Now is my time to be stronger.

Keep away, keep away, keep away, keep away from Johnny

I'll keep my love away from you
away from you, away from you.
