Supremes, The - Johnny Raven Lyrics






Free and untamed that's how I've grown
(It's Johnny Raven)
Settling down ain't my nature
Roots I'll never own
(It's Johnny Raven)
Oh your smile
But tell me, ain't your child
How can you cage a bird
Born to be wild

I'm Johnny Raven
(He's Johnny Raven)
By and by (By and by)
Oh, I'm going to leave your nest girl
Another nest to try
Ooh Johnny Raven
Girl you know I shouldn't have loved you
Yeah, but I gotta leave you
When my restless heart says goodbye

Look at you little girl
You feel love so deep
(It's Johnny Raven)
If I could change in a second
I'd change for you like that
Stay right here for keeps
(It's Johnny Raven)
But I'm home free for no thrills
Stray I will
Seems I gotta need one girl
Never can feel

Yeah I'm Johnny Raven
(It's Johnny Raven)
By and by
Oh, I'm going to leave your nest girl
Another nest to try
Ooh Johnny Raven
Girl you know I shouldn't have loved you
Yeah, but I gotta leave you
When my restless heart says goodbye

Everybody knows my name
I'm Johnny Raven
(It's Johnny Raven)
Yeah, yeah by and by
(It's Johnny Raven)
I'm gonna fly
When you cry part of me's gonna die

Supremes, The Johnny Raven Comments
  1. C.... S....

    Jean was a great addition to the Supremes line up. I think the reason for her leaving had a lot to do with the majority of the songs she sung on not being released as singles. It would've Gold & Platinum singles.

  2. M.... C....

    Super, super, super ++++++++
    Motown Sound Is Number One.
    Jean Terrell ++++++

  3. W.... B....

    Why this wasn't a single will forever be a mystery. It would have been the perfect followup to "Nathan Jones." It was original written for Kiki Dee's only Motown album. The Jean Terrell led albums have stood the test of time; they are true art. Motown was very happy with the sales, too. But little by little the label became less and less supportive. Very foolish.

  4. G.... A....

    Great song from a great album.

  5. T.... ....

    LOL...Never a doubt!

  6. t.... ....

    it shouldn't surprise you to know that they are in mine as well...

  7. T.... ....

    theSUPREMEscene......"Right On", "New Ways But Love Stays", "Touch", "The Supremes Produced By Jimmy Webb", "The Magnificent 7", "The Return Of The Magnificent 7", "Dynamite", "Floy Joy" & the rediscovered "Promises Kept" all part of Hip-O-Select "Magnificent" & "This Is The Story" are all in my collection!

  8. t.... ....

  9. T.... ....

  11. T.... ....

    THANK YOU "theSUPREMEscene" for this magnificent post!
    This should have been the follow up single after "Nathan Jones" from THE SUPREMES Album/CD "Touch" always dear to my heart!
