Johnny And Mary

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

Chorus:

Johnny's always running around, 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

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus

(run run run,

run run run,

run run run,

run run run)

Repeat Chorus and fade to end
