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 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?
