Lyrics

Album version

[Verse 1] He stays home from work this time He never really told his wife He never really told a lie But this time, he decides that it's alright It's alright No one really knows his mind And no one knows behind his eyes The man deserves a medal But he's never really won a prize before He goes to lock the door [Pre-Chorus] He has fallen in love He knows it's enough But the world looks down and frowns [Chorus] Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now We all need you now [Verse 2] Someone said, "Away you go!" And someone said to you, "Goodbye." They deflect the disrespect When they say that they blame it on the times They blame it on the times We all know you're qualified To fix a chair and love your wife They all know you're qualified But they lie when they blame it on the times Oh, we blame it on the times [Pre-Chorus] Oh, he has fallen in love He knows it's enough But the world looks down and frowns [Chorus] Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now We all need you now [Bridge] I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame and I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame and I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame [Chorus] Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now Get up, Johnny Boy, get up, Johnny Boy Get up, 'cause the world has left you lying on the ground You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy Get up, Johnny Boy, because we all need you now
