Johnny & Donna
Mali Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But had no idea what love really was
But they tried their best
To make each other smile
But while learning themselves
They would have a child
But with no time to think the whole thing through
It got tough to provide for him
And give him love and care
How, how, how, how
How do I when and where?
Are questions that both often ask God
Life is full of twist, twist
Life is full of twirl, twirl, ta-twirl ,twirls
Twirls it's the way of the world that flips you upside down
When you're young when you're old
It just spins out of control, whoa
It spins out of control
So, hold on
Because you never know
Johnny and Donna slowly recognized
That for the baby's future
They planned 2 different lives
Donna wanted a family
She wanted to do it right
Make Johnny's house a home
She wanted to be a wife
But Johnny was a dreamer
And he had to move around
Yeah, he'd be there for his child
But wouldn't settle down
How, how, how, how
How do I when and where?
Are questions they both often asked God
Life is full of twist, twist
Life is full of twirl, twirl, ta-twirl, twirls
Twirls it's the way of the world
It's whirlwinds and girlfriends
Toys and boyfriend, friend, friends
And Frenchmen,
War, peace, impeachment, gentlemen
Ladies, Sunday, shady mistakes and peach rings
Blacks and bleach stains
Don't forget wasps and beestings
Whether you're Johnny and Donna
Or neither of the two
Just try to make the best of what's given to you
The song "Johnny & Donna" by Mali Music tells the story of a young couple who fell in love, but had no idea what love was really about. They had a child together, but struggled to provide for him and give him the care and attention he needed. They were both trying to figure out the complexities of life and love, and often turned to God for guidance.
As they grew older, Johnny and Donna realized that they had different visions for their future. Donna wanted to settle down and create a stable home for her family, while Johnny was a dreamer who wanted to explore the world and pursue his ambitions. They both questioned how to find their way in life and wondered about the paths they should take.
The chorus of the song reflects on the unpredictable nature of life and how it can turn everything upside down: "Life is full of twist, twist/Life is full of twirl, twirl, ta-twirl, twirls/Twirls it's the way of the world that flips you upside down/When you're young when you're old/It just spins out of control, whoa/It spins out of control/So, hold on/Because you never know."
Overall, "Johnny & Donna" is a poignant reflection on the challenges of love, parenthood, and finding your place in the world. It's a reminder to hold on tight, make the best of what's given to you, and rely on the support and guidance of those around you.

on Deep Blood Red
I believe The love Mail is referring to is his love for God. The deep blood Red is matching the blood sacrificed for him. Wanting to be God’s favorite. To show his emotions and how he feels. For years people thought Bebe & Cece’s love song was to each other but it was to God and they are siblings.
