The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

That's right

She don't like it when it's cut n' dry

And don't like me makin' future plans

And don't want me tryin' to pin her down

She ain't about to give an inch of ground

Well, she can take me for a little ride

Just as long as she drive me home

Around the block, maybe once or twice

And then some lovin'

Wouldn't that be nice?

I won't, but I want it

Oh, what a fool believes

I got her in my sight

But just outta reach

Here we go around (Round round round)

Run, run, runaround (Round round round round)

Here we go around (Round round round)

She givin' me the runaround (Round round round round)

A-just enough to keep me hangin' on

She knows exactly what I need

And right down to the nick o' time

I'm chasin' love down a fine, fine line

I won't, but I want it

Oh, what a fool believes

I got her in my sight

But just outta reach

Here we go around (Round round round)

Run, run, runaround (Round round round round)

here we go around (Round round round)

She givin' me the runaround (Round round round round)

It goes like this

Listen baby

Oh man, it's hard enough

And you make it harder

Fill me up, I'm never satisfied

Own me. She owns it

Here we go around (Round round round)

Run, run, runaround (Round round round round)

Here we go around (Round round round)

She givin' me the runaround (Round round round round)

Here we go around (Round round round)

Run, run, runaround (Round round round round)

Here we go around (Round round round)

She givin' me the runaround (Round round round round)

Round and around

I like it

I like it
