Johnny's [bad word] 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 could 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 is being discovered
Scared that he`ll be caught
Without a second [bad word] 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 [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 ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it

Johnnys [bad word] around
Running around
