[Verse 1]
The wind carries her perfume through an open door
Into a corner street cafe
And she's to close for comfort
But for holding she's too far away
And the days are growing shorter
As the nights are oh so long
Since she's been gone I draw my strength
From memories and melodies
That's how I wrote this song

[Chorus]
And take me home, Johnny
'Cause I can't take to see her with another guy
And isn't it funny? It seems like yesterday
When she told me her love was mine

[Bridge]
But she's to cool for lovin'
And she's to cold I've learned
She's too hard to handle
She's too hot, I'll burn

[Verse 2]
And I went out in the fields today
To scream out loud and call her name
You wanna fly, I wanna bound
The less you give, the more I want
