Johnny & Mary

Johnny's always running around

Trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm

That he ain't lonely

Mary counts the walls

Knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right

If it could buy 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, "He's willing to learn"

When he decides he's a fool

Johnny says, "He'll 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 being discovered"

Scared that he'll be caught

Without a second thought running around

Johnny feels, he's wasting his breath

Trying to talk sense to her

Mary says, "He's lacking a real

Sense of proportion"

So she combs her hair

Knows he tires easily

Johnny's always running around

Trying 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"

Johnny's always running around

Running around
