Lyrics
Well, I play guitar for Johnny's band
Johnny writes the songs
He used to sing 'em loud and proud
'Till this woman came along
Now, Johnny loves this woman
And she would love to hear him sing
But whenever that girl gets near him
The poor boy can't do a thing
Anne Louise! Anne Louise!
Anne Louise! Anne Louise!
If you don't leave we can't go on
Johnny won't sing until you're gone
I'm beggin' please
I'm on my knees
Get on home, sweet Anne Louise!
Anne Louise hears stories
About Johnny when we're playin'
And all she wants to do
Is find if it's true 'bout what they're saying
Well, the paper says he drives 'em wild
And brings the big house down
But when Anne Louise is in the crowd
That fool can't make a sound
Anne Louise, please listen
The boys asked me to tell you this
Johnny ain't been quite the same
Since you gave him his first kiss
Now, I know you love Johnny
But think about the band
You've got to leave that boy alone
Please try to understand!
