Johnny was a boy, thought he was a man
Thought he lived in a world that didn't understand
But it's all right, alright
Mama came down and stood right there
Said, "Johnny, boy, don't you feel scared,
'Cuz it's all right, alright."
Johnny was a boy, thought he was a man
And thought he lived in a world that didn't understand
An' Johnny was a boy, thought he was alone
But it's all right if you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low...

And mother came in and what do ya know,
Said, "Johnny, boy, don't you feel so low,
'Cuz it's all right, alright."
