Well, I saw her at the diner, sittin' in a booth alone Stirrin' her black coffee, cold as a rolling stone Raven hair and ruby lips, a danger in her eyes They call her sweet Joanna, but I know it's a disguise Oh, Joanna! You're a heartbreak in a black dress, it's true! Oh, Joanna! What's a crazy cat like me supposed to do? You walk in and the room goes quiet, the jukebox holds its breath Loving you, Joanna, is a dance with life and death! I tried to talk to her, I said "Honey, what's your name?" She just smiled a wicked smile and put my heart to shame She said, "I don't talk to strangers with grease stains on their jeans" Then she blew a kiss and shattered all my rock and roll dreams Oh, Joanna! You're a heartbreak in a black dress, it's true! Oh, Joanna! What's a crazy cat like me supposed to do? You walk in and the room goes quiet, the jukebox holds its breath Loving you, Joanna, is a dance with life and death! Yeah, Joanna... she's a heartbreak... but she's mine to dream about...
