Johnny's [bad word] around, trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm, that he ain't lonely

Mary counts walls, knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right, if it would buy [bad word] 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 he's willing to learn, when he decides, he's a fool.
Johnny says he'll live anywhere, when he earns time to.
 [bad word] 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 get caught, without a second thought.

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath, trying to talk, sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real, sense of proportion,
So [bad word] her hair, knows he tires easily

Johnny's [bad word] around, trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm, that he aint lonely.
Mary counts walls, says she should be used to it.
