Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Words are in my head
But I can't enunciate them clearly
Headphones on your hair
They prevent a chance to even try
Some might find me borderline attractive from afar
But afar is not where I can stay, and there you are
[Verse 2]
Though I want you
I know I haven't a chance
Still, I want you
Johnny Delusional, here
[Verse 3]
I know yes and no
In a couple dozen other languages
But your form of no
Is the kind of look I can't deny
Tell me, are resistance and stupidity the same?
Tell me, is resistance so enticing? Please explain
[Verse 4]
Though I want you
I know I haven't a chance
Still, I want you
Johnny Delusional, here
[Verse 5]
Though I want you
I know I haven't a chance
Still, I want you
Johnny Delusional, here
[Verse 6]
(I want you) Paging Mr. Delusional
You're wanted at the desk
Paging Mr. Delusional
You're wanted at the front desk
[Verse 7]
Wouldn't it be terrible if there's no music there?
Wouldn't it be terrible if she don't want you near?
Wouldn't it be terrible if there's no music there?
Wouldn't it be terrible if she don't want you near?
[Verse 8]
Though I want you (Would it be terrible if there's no music there?)
I know I haven't a chance
Still, I want you (Would it be terrible if she don't want you near?)
Johnny Delusional, here
Though I want you (Would it be terrible if there's no music there?)
I know I haven't a chance
Still, I want you (Would it be terrible if she don't want you near?)
Johnny Delusional, here
