(R. Palmer) Producer: Richard Perry Albums: The Collected Recordings (94) From the "Summer Lovers" soundtrack
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 find truth for him Mary says he changes his mind More than a woman But she made her bet Even though the chance was slim
Johnny says he's willing to learn it When he decides he's a fool Johnny says he'll live anywhere When he has time to 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's Being discovered Scared that he'll get caught Without a second thought
Johnny thinks he's wasting his prayers Trying to make 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 he should be used to it
'Cause Mary's always running around Running around, running around
