Johnnys always runnin' around
Tryin' to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he aint lonely Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could 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 Johnny says, "Hes willing to learn
When he decides, hes a fool"
Johnny says' "Hell live anywhere
When he earns to time" Mary combs her hair
Says, "She should be used to it" Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts
Like he is bein' discovered
Scared that hell be caught
Without a second thought runnin' around Johnny feels hes wasting his breath
Tryin' to talk sense to her
Mary says, "Hes lackin' a real
Sense of proportion" So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily Johnnys always runnin' around
Tryin' to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he aint lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says, "She should be used to it" Johnnys always runnin' around
Runnin' around
