Robert Palmer - Johnny And Mary Lyrics

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.
