The Runaround
Help me understand
Why I keep on playin' this part
Got me spendin' all your money
Beggin' for your honey
Tell me why we're only this far
You've got to give the runaround
To make that candy taste so sweet
You've got to give the runaround
To let them know there's nothing for free
Help me understand
What it takes for me to be your man
So, you took me to your place
Gave me a little taste
When you said you'd have me screaming amen
You've got to give the runaround
To make that candy taste so sweet
You've got to give the runaround
To let them know there's nothing for free
But when you give me the runaround
The best thing that you could've had
Might just up and leave
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Baby I'm a man
And it means I'm gonna get what I need
So please give that act a rest
You know you don't need that dress
Why don't you let it slip on down to your feet
You've got to give the runaround
To make that candy taste so sweet
You've got to give the runaround
To let them know there's nothing for free
But when you give me the runaround
The best thing that you could have had
Might up and leave
Help me understand why I keep on playin' this part
