JOHNNY AND MARY lyrics

Artist  : Robert Palmer 
Song : JOHNNY AND MARY
 


(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
