Johnny′s always running around trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely

Mary counts the wallsKnows 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

Running around

Running around

Johnny says he′s willing to learn when he decides he's a fool

Johnny says he'd live anywhere when he earns the 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′s being discovered

Scared that he′ll be caught

Without a second thought

Running around

Running around

Running around

Running around

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath trying to talk sense 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 walls

Says she should be used to it

Running around

Running around

Johnny's always running around

Running around

Running around
