You Don't Like
Johnny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When my thoughts explode like radio
They broadcast into nothingness
When a chance to succeed becomes reason to bleed
It forecasts all the nothingness

I'm free of the emptiness
When you stare
When you act real tough, i can see your face
When you look at me, i can see it plain as day
You don't care like you used to
You don't care like you used to

I'm free of the emptiness
When you stare

You don't care like you used to
You don't care like you used to

When you act real tough, i can see your face
When you look at me, i can see it plain as day
You don't care like you used to
You don't care like you used to

When you act real tough, i can see your face
When you look at me, i can see it plain as day
You don't care like you used to
You don't care like you used to

I'm free of the emptiness
When you stare





You don't care like you used to
You don't care like you used to

Overall Meaning

In Johnny’s song “You Don’t Like”, the singer expresses their frustration with someone who used to care but now seems indifferent. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels free of emptiness only when this person is not around, and that their thoughts are like radio signals that disappear into nothingness. The line “When a chance to succeed becomes reason to bleed” implies that the singer may have taken risks or put their trust in this person in the past, only to be let down.


The chorus “You don’t care like you used to” is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the singer’s disappointment in the change they perceive in this person. However, the lines “When you act real tough, I can see your face/When you look at me, I can see it plain as day” suggest that the singer still has insight into this person’s emotions and sees through their facade.


Overall, the song is a reflection on the disillusionment that can come with relationships that change over time. Despite the disappointment, the singer still holds onto hope and acknowledges a sense of freedom when they are not around.

Johnny, don't leave me
You said you'd love me forever
Honey, believe me
I'll have your heart on a platter
Might you recall
We've got a small family business
And the family won't like this
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh wop de do wop de do
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh wop de do wop de do
Johnny, you told me
You were no fool, you were no chump
Then you got cold feet
Now all you'll be is a speed bump
It's something we call
Oh, just a small family business
And the family won't like this
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh wop de do wop de do
They'll bust your knee caps
That's what they're going to do
Johnny, there's still time
Together I know, we'd go so far
I'll tell uncle Rocco
To call off the guys with the crowbars
You call it crime
We call it smart family business
And the family is famous
Bust your knee caps
Bust your knee caps
It's such a shame
That you became such an issue
Oh dear Johnny, I'll miss you
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh wop de do wop de do
They'll bust your knee caps
That's what they're going to do
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh wop de do wop de do
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh yeah they're coming for you
Bust your knee caps
Ooh, bust your knee caps
Bust your knee caps
Ooh, bust your knee caps

this gives off the 1950s vibe where the wife found that her husband had been cheating on her for a long time while they have been married. she gets her revenge by beating him with a bat in his sleep with no reaction other than a satisfied smile. she never gets caught and she lives a lavish life spending his money while being a happy widow who has now become the boss of the most dangerous mafia in the world.

@Onyx_Antonio no way dude XD 💀

guy who Good luck

Yea but the husbands in the mob where allowed to cheat it was seen as a relaxing activity at the end of day and some mobs even provided service workers for that particular activity. The thing is marriage in the mob is permanent so leaving a mob bosses daughter well that's this scenario. It ruins the wife's good name she probably wouldn't get remarried and your wedding was the day you named her your main woman and that all the benefits of being married would only ever go to her. Getting a divorce was seen as a slight to the man if a woman initiated it and if the woman had no ties to the mob outside of her husband there would be consequences but if there were other reasons and connections for her especially higher up connections then you pretty much let it happen or they just killed you anyway because of all the info you knew. Basically no divorce was permitted in the mob and there better be a darn good reason.
