[03:21.52] Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me? [03:41.44] He told me to close my eyes [03:44.78] My gift would be a great surprise [03:48.84] I saw hatred in his eyes [03:52.38] But he never meant to hurt me [03:55.54] Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me [04:03.44] There's so many ways our lives have changed [04:07.39] But please, I beg, don't do this to me [04:11.69] Johnny, you keep on using me [04:18.66] Can I change my life for any price?

[04:40.76] I just want to feel free [04:47.81] I will always feel free [04:55.56] I will always feel free [05:03.10] I will always feel free [05:11.09] I will always feel free [05:15.86]
