Bob Said It's Johanna, Not Louise.

it's too bad,

blowing on the harmonica

that he's found

Louise can never be what he needs

 

and it's too bad

strumming the strings

that he knows

Johanna is all he'll ever want

 

and it's too bad

singing the song

that he knows

Johanna is gone

 

and all he wants is to see

Johanna not Louise,

but Louise can go

to the ends of the world

and Johanna knows she's what he wants

 

Johanna dances in his mind

and Louise walks a thin line

Johanna sways to and fro

and Louise stays put - everything just so

 

and all he wants to see

is Johanna, not Louise.
