the semantics - johnny come lately lyrics

[verse 1]
lauretta ballinger has always been my sweet pea
we were holdin’ hands at the age of ten
we meant forever when we carved it in the oak tree
she moved away and i haven’t seen her since then
lately i had this dream that needs interpretation
lauretta’s standin’ in a wedding dress
she’s at the altar with this look of desperation
i started tossin’ and a-turnin’ when the preacher says

[chorus]
“is there anybody who objects with good intention?
if so, speak clearly or forever hold your peace”
my lips are movin’ but i’m sleep-talkin’
“lauretta, wait for johnny-come-lately”

[verse 2]
i’m hangin’ on to every word that’s bein’ spoken
my palms are sweaty and my knees are weak
i got this feelin’ that my heart may soon be broken
i got a cause that’s just if they could hear me speak

[solo]

[verse 3]
i’m smellin’ coffee and the radio is talkin’
bringin’ me back into reality
i guess i’d better let my fingers do the walkin’
i’ll find the number in the telephone directory
before that dear john letter is addressed to me

[chorus]
“is there anybody who objects with good intention? (is there anybody?)
if so, speak clearly or forever hold your peace” (whoa, is there anyone?)
my lips are movin’ but i’m sleep-talkin’
“lauretta, wait for johnny-come-lately” (ooh whoa)
“is there anybody who objects with good intention? (is there anybody?)
if so, speak clearly or forever hold your peace” (ooh whoa, is there anyone?)
my lips are movin’ but i’m sleep-talkin’
“lauretta, wait for johnny-come-lately”
woo!
