I met a girl who loves me so.
Never questions my whereabouts while I’m on the go.
I can do what I want, never having to worry.
This girl is a jewel I’m no fool.

We live together like roommates,
She stays at home, while I stay out late.
We do our own thing and that’s OK.
I don’t truly love her anyway.

We’re about to be married very soon.
I married once in the month of June.
This is my second time around.
This time my feet are on the ground.

I’m not in love though I respect her a lot.
She’s safe and easy, Johnny on the spot.
Maybe I’ll stay with her until the end.
We can always be, very good friends.
