"Johnny And Mary" lyrics
(originally by Robert Palmer)
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
Ooh, eye to eye, heart to heart all the time
Tries to make it mile for mile day to daybreak
He wants to see it through, living like dreamers do
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 that he still acts like he's being discovered, huh
Scared that he'll get caught without a second thought
Ooh, eye to eye, heart to heart all the time
Tries to make it mile for mile day to daybreak
He wants to see it through, living like dreamers do
He's got to see it through, living like dreamers do
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
Ooh, eye to eye, heart to heart all the time
Tries to make it mile for mile day to daybreak
He wants to see it through, living like dreamers do
Johnny's always running around (Ooh)
Running around, running around (Day to daybreak)
Running around, running around
He's got to see it through, living like dreamers do
Johnny's always running around
Running around, running around
Running around, running around (Ooh)
Johnny's always running around
Running around, running around (All the time, all the time)
Running around, running around (Ooh, day to daybreak)
Johnny's always running around (Ooh)
Running around, running around (All the time)
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
Ooh, eye to eye, heart to heart all the time
Tries to make it mile for mile day to daybreak
He wants to see it through, living like dreamers do
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 that he still acts like he's being discovered, huh
Scared that he'll get caught without a second thought
Ooh, eye to eye, heart to heart all the time
Tries to make it mile for mile day to daybreak
He wants to see it through, living like dreamers do
He's got to see it through, living like dreamers do
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
Ooh, eye to eye, heart to heart all the time
Tries to make it mile for mile day to daybreak
He wants to see it through, living like dreamers do
Johnny's always running around (Ooh)
Running around, running around (Day to daybreak)
Running around, running around
He's got to see it through, living like dreamers do
Johnny's always running around
Running around, running around
Running around, running around (Ooh)
Johnny's always running around
Running around, running around (All the time, all the time)
Running around, running around (Ooh, day to daybreak)
Johnny's always running around (Ooh)
Running around, running around (All the time)
