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"
