Johnny Bravo

Okay, hello again, I missed you... kind of
I get so sick of seeing your picture everywhere
I see you chose the shot they took of you five years ago
Airbrushed to look as though you still had hair

Why don't we lay it on the table right now?
If we had stayed together, what a nightmare we'd have been
Suburban girl falls for a great big rock and roller
And says, "I'll never wash this cheek again"


Chorus
But baby, when you take me back to where we started
Way before your voice was bought and sold
You could take me anywhere you wanted
But you're too cool and I'm too cold
Bye bye, Johnny Bravo


You know, I saw you on that late night talk show
The one whose host you always said was an irritation*
Imagine my surprise when I saw you look him in the eyes
And tell him that he was your inspiration

Chorus

You must believe those accolades they're writing about you
Oh, if I was Johnny Bravo, I'd believe them too

So now what can I say, I miss you... how boring
I guess the truth is that I wish you'd never changed
I liked you better when your hairline was receding
I liked you better with your real name

Chorus

You're too cool and I'm too cold
Bye bye, Johnny Bravo
Johnny Bravo, bye bye

*This line is also sometimes "The one whose host you always said gave you indigestion"
