Johnny chased his pockets for some money to burn
All the lessons of love, he thought he'd never learn
Hit the streets one night for some wisdom and wine
He met a downtown girl and got lost in her eyes

You just can't deny it, it goes on and on
It's gonna last forever, the blood red bond of love

He was her jack of hearts, she was his queen of spades
Made a secret vow and then opened the shades
They got married in june in a shanty town
He swore on his ring he'd never let her down

Don't turn your back on it, it goes on and on
It's gonna last forever, the blood red bond of love

Johnny went astray and he lost her trust
And all their shiny dreams slowly turned to dust
With the changin' wind she left him one day
Hopes and promises they all but faded away

Don't ever try to break it, it goes on and on
It's gonna last forever, the blood red bond of love

It lifts you up sometimes,or it can weigh you down
You better not try to turn your back upon¦
The blood red bond of love

Don't ever try to break it, it goes on and on
It's gonna last forever, the blood red bond of love
But if you don't believe enough, it can lose its hold
Who said it lasts forever?¦The blood red bond of love
