Johnny And Mary Lyrics

Johnny And Mary lyrics

(Robert Palmer)

Johnnys always running around
Trying 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 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 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 is being
discovered
Scared that hell be caught
Without a second thought
Running
around

Johnny feels hes wasting his breath
Trying to talk sense to
her
Mary says hes 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

Johnnys
always running around
Running around
