Lovesick Johnny

The rhododendrons flowering in the garden The willy wagtail sing on wattle tree But lovesick Johnny feeling so unhappy He pines for love that never was to be. He told his friends how he loves Linda Addams Young Linda with blue eyes and golden hair He also said that she would grow to love him Though Linda for him never seemed to care. He framed his photograph of lovely Linda And hung it on the wall above his bed And he keeps persisting with the silly notion That she will fall for him when she grows tired of Ted. His so called mates they only laugh at Johnny With friends like them who needs an enemy? Behind his back they say the 'stupid fellow' And they never show him any sympathy. She politely refused his offer to wine and dine her But he find fresh hope when she greet him with a smile He thinks he loves her for her charm and beauty Whilst in reality he loves her for her guile. How can you love someone who does not love you To someone indifferent how can you be true? For in true love there must be mutual feelings And love's a thing that must be felt by two. What Johnny feels is mere infatuation Where foolish passion is love never shine Butterflies are fluttering in the sunlit garden And for one who to him feels indifferent he pine. He framed his photograph of lovely Linda And he hung it on the wall above his bed And his so called mates they only laugh at Johnny And say that he is silly in the head.
