Jewel & Johnny
"Jewel & Johnny", take one
Jewel and Johnny walked to school each day
Holding hands and no one bats an eye
All their friends are pretty cool that way
No one knows why both their mothers cry
Two kids in love, that's all it oughta be
Still their parents grumble
"This is how our cultures crumble"
Johnny nearly threw a punch today
Some jerk on the metro said a word
Jewel said "I don't care what people say
It's not like that's the worst we've ever heard"
Two kids in love, that's all it oughta be (two kids in love)
Still their parents grumble
"This is how our cultures crumble"
Love conquers all, except in families (love conquers all)
All this bloodline squawking
Sound exactly like the old world talking
All through the years we did it for our kids
Gave them blood and sweat and tears
“Don't tell us this, you're in love after one kiss”
And your family disappears
This isn't fair
"We just want you to be happy"
Two kids in love
That's all it oughta be (two kids in love, love, love)
Still their parents grumble
"This is how our cultures crumble"
Love conquers all, except in families (love conquers all)
All this bloodline squawking
Sound exactly like the old world talking
Brave new boy and brave new girl
Brave new boy and brave new girl
Brave new boy and brave new girl
Two kids in love, that's all it oughta be
Two kids in love, that's all it ought to be
Jewel and Johnny, the end
