I've been runnin', I'm red in the face
I'm gonna catch up and win this race
I almost caught her he very last time
In the arms of a friend of mine
But she left and I can't find the place, no
I need her now and I got no time to waste
I've been runnin' from door to door
That woman is trouble and hard to score
The girl won't listen
When I tell her she's mine
Slams the door when I'm next in line
I've got to show her
That I can be kind once more, yeah
I've got to show her
That I can be kind once more
The street people won't give me a hand
They all think that I 'm he man
S that my baby in some disguise
Shuckin' and jivin' and tellin' me lies
She wants to see
How a grown man cries again, yeah
She wants to see
How a grown man cries again
I've been thinkin' bout what I'll do
When I finally catch up to you
Ain't gonna be hard, ain't gonna be mean
Gonna be nice as you ever seen
You know, Baby
I'm never gonna lean on you
You know, Baby
I'm never gonna lean on you
