Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Running around
[Instrumental]
Running around
[Instrumental]
Johnny says he's willing to learn when he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'd live anywhere when he earns the time
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it
[Verse 3]
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 be caught
Without a second thought
[Chorus]
Running around
[Instrumental]
Running around
[Instrumental]
Running around
[Instrumental]
Running around
[Instrumental]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Running around
[Instrumental]
Running around
[Instrumental]
Running around
[Instrumental]
Running around
[Instrumental]
Running around
[Instrumental]
Running around
