Run-Around |
| Once upon a midnight dearie |
| I woke with something in my head |
| I couldnt escape the memory |
| Of a phone call and of what you said |
| Like a game show contestant with a parting gift |
| I could not believe my eyes |
| When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend |
| Who needs to humor me and tell me lies |
| Yes humor me and tell me lies |
| And Ill lie too and say I dont mind |
| And as we seek so shall we find |
| And when youre feeling open Ill still be here |
| But not without a certain degree of fear |
| Of what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully |
| But you |
| Why you wanna give me a run-around |
| Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down |
| Oh yeah |
| And shake me and my confidence |
| About a great many things |
| But Ive been there I can see it cower |
| Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings |
| Of a bad play where the heroes are right |
| And nobody thinks or expects too much |
| And hollywoods calling for the movie rights |
| Singing hey babe lets keep in touch |
| Hey baby lets keep in touch |
| But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me And show me all the things no one else can see |
| So what you feel becomes mine as well |
| And soon if were lucky wed be unable to tell |
| Whats yours and mine the fishings fine |
| And it doesnt have to rhyme so dont you feed me a line |
| But you |
| Why you wanna give me a run-around |
| Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down |
| Ha la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking |
| And Ive got some news for you |
| It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop |
| And there aint a whole lot that you can do Oh sure the banner may be torn and the winds gotten colder |
| Perhaps Ive grown a little cynical |
| But I know no matter what the waitress brings |
| I shall drink in and always be full |
| Yes, my cup shall always be full |
| Oh I like coffee |
| And I like tea |
| Id like to be able to enter a final plea |
| I still got this dream that you just cant shake |
| I love you to the point you can no longer take |
| Well all right okay |
| So be that way |
| I hope and pray |
| That theres something left to say |
| But you |
| Why you wanna give me a run-around |
| Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down |
| But you |
| Why you wanna give me a run-around |
| Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down |
