[Verse 1]
Don't go loving in the hearth, Joanne
Some boys boast of breaking hearts, Joanne
Bring him down to size
Tell him you got wise, Joanne

Don't go waiting in the rain, Joanne
If he leaves you there again, Joanne
Tell him you're a girl
That deserves the world, Joanne

[Chorus]
He ain't nothing new
Nothing left to do but go, Joanne

[Bridge]
All dressed up
And nowhere to go
Throw your empty arms around
The only thing you know, Joanne
Love lies waiting in the wings
Someone longs to make your heart sing

[Verse 2]
Don't go waste your youth on tears, Joanne
It's seldom as bleak as it appears, Joanne
Just around the bend
Love will rise again, Joanne

[Chorus]
He ain't nothing new
Nothing left to do but go, Joanne
Ooh, Joanne
