Joanie's like a prizefight
Yeah, she's a Cassius Clay with green eyes
Trying to resist me
Fighting not to kiss me
Knocking out my lights
She tells me she's an open book
But that's such a joke to me
Yeah, it's impossible to get her
The pages stick together
So nobody can read
And Joanie is making a fool out of me
I only wanna see her smile if only for a little while
Uh huh, if only for a while
ย
She called me when her daddy died
She told me she was alright
But she was crying in her pancakes
Crying to the fan blades
And crying at the sky
'Cause she's just aching for a storybook
A truth that she can take
A box to put a gift in
A world she can exist in
That doesn't ever change
And Joanie is making a fool out of me
I only wanna see her smile if only for a little while
Uh huh, yeah, it's only for a while
ย
Yeah, it's only for a while
ย
I just wanna see her smile
ย
Joanie is making a fool out of me
I only wanna see her smile if only for a little while
Uh huh, Joanie, only for a while
Only for a while
Only for a while
It's only for a while
