Joni

Joni's like a prizefight
 She's a Cassius Clay with green eyes
 Trying to resist me
 Fighting not to kiss me
 And knocking out my lights
 She tells me she's an open book
 But that's such a joke to me
 It's impossible to get her
 The pages stick together so nobody can read
 Joni is making a fool out of me
 I only want to see her smile
 If only for a little while
 If only for a while
 She called me when her daddy died
 She told me she was alright
 But she was crying in her pancakes
 Crying to the fan blades
 Crying at the Sky
 'Cause she's just aching for a storybook
 A truth that she can tame
 A box to put a gift in
 A world she can exist in that doesn't ever change
 Joni is making a fool out of me
 I only want to see her smile
 If only for a little while
 If only for a while
 If only for a while
 If only for a while
 I only want to see her smile
 Joni is making a fool out of me
 I only want to see her smile
 If only for a little while
 Joni only for a while
 Only for a while
 Only for a while
 If only for a while
