The Runaround

Help me understand Why I keep on playing this part Got me spending all my money Begging 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 nothin' 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 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 nothin' for free But when you give the runaround The best thing you could've had Might up and leave Baby I'm a man And it means I'm going to 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 nothin' for free
