Correction Lyrics Johnny & Mary by Robert Palmer

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, 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, 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’s always running around, running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away

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

Johnny’s always running around, running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away....

(Johnny run, run, run)
(Johnny run, run, run)
(Johnny run, run, run)
(Johnny run, run, run)

Johnny’s always running around, running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away

Johnny’s always running around, running around, running around (running around)
Johnny’s always running around, running around, running around (running away)
Johnny’s always running around, running around, running around (running around)
Johnny’s always running around, running around, running around (running away) …
