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 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, "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"
