(Robert Palmer)
JohnnyЎЇs always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ainЎЇt 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 heЎЇs willing to learn
When he decides heЎЇs a fool
Johnny says heЎЇll live anywhere
When he earns to time
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 heЎЇll be caught
Without a second thought
Running around
Johnny feels heЎЇs wasting his breath
Trying to talk sense to her
Mary says heЎЇs lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily
