Bit late for the 80's fest but I did it anyway. Hope you enjoy. Willie

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

Jonny thinks the world would be right if he could buy the truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
But she made her bed even when the chance was slim

Instrumental

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 move
Mary combs her hair says she should be used to it

Mary always hedges her bets she never knows just what to think
She says he still acts like he is being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught Without a second thought
Running Around

Instrumental

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

Johnny's always running around

Nice cover of a great song from my favourite Robert Palmer album, "Clues". I used to love listening to that album on a cassette tape in my 1979 Pinto cruising wagon.
