Johnny And Mary:
(by Robert Palmer)
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 would buy truth from
him
Mary says he changes his
mind
More than a woman...
But she made her bed
Even though the chance was
slim
Johnny's always running around,
running around
Johnny's always running
around, running away
Johnny says he's willing
to learn
When he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
When he has 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 he's still acting
like he's being discovered...
Scared that he'll get caught
Without a second thought
Johnny feels he's wasting
his breath
Trying to talk sense to
her
Mary says he's lacking a
real sense of proportion...
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used
to it
