Running
One day you're talking sweet and telling me you'll stay
And I believed every damn word you'd say
I'm not sure how the clouds gathered so fast
But once the rain started pouring I knew this flood would last
Ooh, I gave you a shot and you threw it away
And you, you're now begging me for one more day
And I want you to see what we both know is true
You want a girl who is crazy enough to bow down to you
You want a girl who plays by the rules and never asks for more
What you really want is a love without second thought
So, what you running to me for?
(So, what you running to me for?)
I thought you knew me better
I thought you'd see that I don't give my affection easily
What happened to who I thought I knew
I'm telling you, I swear I left a better you
Ooh, I gave you a shot and you threw it away
And you-ooh, you're now begging me for one more day
And I want you to see what we both know is true
Baby, you want a girl who is crazy enough to bow down to you
You want a girl to play by the rules and never ask for more
What you really want is a love without second thought
So, what you running to me for?
(Why should I,I take this? Why can't I, why can't I...)
(Why should I,I take this?) Why can't I turn my back? I know, I know
(Why should I,I take this?) Why can't I turn my back? I know, I know
(Why should I,I take this?) Why can't I turn my back? I know, I know
(Why should I,I take this?) Why can't I turn my back?
And I want you to see what we both know is true
Baby, you want a girl who is crazy enough to bow down to you (bow down to you)
You want a girl who plays by the rules and never asks for more
What you really want is a love without second thought
So, what you running to me for?
And I believed every damn word you'd say
I'm not sure how the clouds gathered so fast
But once the rain started pouring I knew this flood would last
Ooh, I gave you a shot and you threw it away
And you, you're now begging me for one more day
And I want you to see what we both know is true
You want a girl who is crazy enough to bow down to you
You want a girl who plays by the rules and never asks for more
What you really want is a love without second thought
So, what you running to me for?
(So, what you running to me for?)
I thought you knew me better
I thought you'd see that I don't give my affection easily
What happened to who I thought I knew
I'm telling you, I swear I left a better you
Ooh, I gave you a shot and you threw it away
And you-ooh, you're now begging me for one more day
And I want you to see what we both know is true
Baby, you want a girl who is crazy enough to bow down to you
You want a girl to play by the rules and never ask for more
What you really want is a love without second thought
So, what you running to me for?
(Why should I,I take this? Why can't I, why can't I...)
(Why should I,I take this?) Why can't I turn my back? I know, I know
(Why should I,I take this?) Why can't I turn my back? I know, I know
(Why should I,I take this?) Why can't I turn my back? I know, I know
(Why should I,I take this?) Why can't I turn my back?
And I want you to see what we both know is true
Baby, you want a girl who is crazy enough to bow down to you (bow down to you)
You want a girl who plays by the rules and never asks for more
What you really want is a love without second thought
So, what you running to me for?
