"Strung Out Johnny" lyrics - IGGY POP

[Intro:]
Hey, man, I see you
Open up, okay
Get out of here, Iggy
Come on now, fix me up

Love becomes compulsive
It's wiser to say no
God made me a junkie
But Satan told me so

[Pre-Chorus:]
You're strung out, Johnny
And you can't get away
You're strung out, Johnny
And now it's time to pay

[Chorus:]
First time, you do it with a friend
Second time, you do it in a bed
Third time, you can't get enough
Then your life gets all fucked up

[Post-Chorus:]
All fucked up

[Refrain:]
You're strung out, Johnny (Strung out, Johnny, oh)
You're strung out, Johnny (Strung out, Johnny, oh)

Ronnie said to Donnie
"Sell that boy a spoon
Dump him like a hero
Or be forgotten soon"

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm strung out, mommy
And I can't get away
I'm strung out, mommy
And now it's time to pay

[Chorus:]
First time, you do it with a friend
Second time, you do it in a bed
Third time, you can't get enough
Then your life gets all fucked up

[Post-Chorus:]
All fucked up
You're strung out, Johnny

[Outro:]
You're strung out, Johnny (Strung out, Johnny, oh)
And you can't get away
You're strung out, Johnny (Strung out, Johnny, oh)
And now it's time to pay
You're strung out, Johnny (Strung out, Johnny, oh)
Nobody loves you, so
You're strung out, Johnny (Strung out, Johnny, oh)
And that's the way it goes
I'm strung out, mommy (Strung out, Johnny, oh)
I'm strung out, mommy (Strung out, Johnny, oh)
You're strung out, Johnny
