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
