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 tires easily.    Johnny thinks the world would be right  If it would 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 time to.  Mary combs her hair  Says he should be used to it.    Mary  always hedges her bets  She never knows what to think.  She says he still acts  Like he's being discovered    Scared that he'll be caught  Without a second thought.    Johnny feels he's wasting his breath  Trying to talk sence 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 wall  Says she should be used to it.
