School is over, Johnny, and you're graduating
We won’t be seeing each other as often as we did this year
We won't be meeting in the halls or going to the soda shop like we used to
Because I've gotta be in school one more year
Oh, Johnny, please don't find another girl!

Wait, Johnny, for me
Wait, Johnny. for me
You know that I love you
Wait, Johnny, for me

People change when they leave school and go out into the world
I'm so afraid you might think of me as just another high school girl
If you ever, ever doubt my love, just look in your graduation book where I wrote
"Roses are red, violets are blue, Johnny, oh, Johnny, I'll always love you!”

Wait, Johnny, for me
(Please wait, Johnny)
Wait, Johnny, for me
You know that I love you
Wait, Johnny, for me
