Bill:
So you need to kick up your heels
Baby, I can understand
Don't you know how it's making me feel?
I wanna be your only man
Jason:
When it comes right down to the wire
I just need a touch of your fire
But you're livin' it up
You're givin' it up
Bill:
Seems I'm always waiting for you
To find your yesterday
I think I know what you're tryin' to do
I got a better way
Jason:
Baby, soon enough it will end
You'll be reachin' out for a friend
But now you're livin' it up
You're givin' it up all the time
Please be mine
So good at the runaround
You're still making me wait outside
Holding on to broken promises
So good at the runaround
I don't want to stand in line
It's my turn, baby
Please just let me in
Bill:
Though you're always out on the town
I feel your loneliness
While your life is leading you 'round
It's just like an empty kiss
Jason:
When it comes right down to the truth
Well, it comes right down to you
You've been givin' it up
And losin' in love every time
Please be mine
So good at the runaround
You're still making me wait outside
Holding on to broken promises
So good at the runaround
I don't want to stand in line
It's my turn, baby, please...
So good at the runaround
I still fall for the same old lies
Holding on to broken promises
So good at the runaround
I don't want to lose this time
It's my turn, baby, let me in
Just let me in
Baby, please just let me in
