The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

INFO

originally by Devo

COME BACK JONEE

Well come back, Jonee
Well come back, Jonee
Come back, come back, Jonee
Oh Jonee be good
Treat her like you should
You made her cry
Oh Jonee you're bad
You're gonna make her sad

Jonee went to the pawnshop
Bought himself a guitar
Now he's gonna go far
You gotta love 'em and leave 'em
Sometimes you deceive 'em
You made her cry
Oh Jonee you're bad
You're gonna make her sad

Here's where the tears start
Jonee jumped in his Datsun
Drove out on the expressway
Went head-on into a semi
His guitar is all that's left now
He made her cry
Now she calls his name
Jonee you're to blame

Come back, Jonee

Come back, come back, Jonee
Come back, come back, Jonee
Come back now, my Jonee
Oh Jonee be good
Treat her like you should
You made her cry
Jonee you're bad
You're gonna make her sad
Jonee

Come back, come back, Jonee
Come back now Jonee
Come back, come back, Jonee
Oh Jonee be good
Treat her like you should
You made her cry
Jonee you're bad
You're gonna make her sad
Come back, Jonee

Come back, Jonee
Come back my Jonee
