Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Refrain] Johnny's always runnin' around Tryin' to find certainty He needs all the world to confirm That he ain't lonely Mary counts the walls Knows he tires easily [Verse 1] Johnny thinks the world would be right If it would buy the truth from him Mary says he changes his mind More than a woman But she made her bed Even when the chance was slim [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Johnny says he's willing to learn When he decides he's a fool Johnny says he'll live anywhere When he earns time to Mary combs her hair Says she should be used to it [Verse 3] Mary always hedges her bets She never knows what to think She says that he still acts like he's Being discovered Scared that he'll be caught Without a second thought Runnin' around [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Johnny feels he's wasting his breath Tryin' to talk sense to her Mary says he's lackin' a real Sense of proportion So she combs her hair Knows he tires easily [Refrain] Johnny's always runnin' around Tryin' to find certainty He needs all the world to confirm That he ain't lonely Mary counts the walls Says she should be used to it [Outro] Johnny's always runnin' around Runnin' around [Instrumental Outro]
