Runaround
(Rickie Lee Jones)

My baby's always crying,
My baby wants to see me cry, too.

Chain on my heart is going to break
'Cuz every tear that falls in here
Is a dime for the Juke Box Fury
So punch it in, shake the chain
And listen to the song you're playing
Shake the chain, Shake the chain

At everything I do
Just enough
Everything I wanted to
Just enough
Everything I put you through
Just enough to know
He don't want me
Oh, I think he's polarized
He don't know which way to go
Where would you be otherwise?
Otherwise? Well, you know we could

  Runaround
  Because I can get this anyway
  Runaround
  I can get this anyway
  Runaround
  l can get this anyway

Light goes down
Somebody could break your heart
Light goes on
You could break somebody's heart

Chain on my heart is going to break
Every time you try to make me cry
Listen to it now
Punch it in, shake the chain
I can't take the tears, I can't take the tears
Shake the chain, shake the chain

At everything I do
Just enough
And everything I wanted to
Just enough
And everything I put you through
Just enough to know
He don't want me
Oh, you better wise up girl
You better get smart
You better hide your heart

  He's a Runaround
  And I could get this anyway
  Runaround
  I can get this anyway
  Runaround
  I can get it anyway

Take a deep breath
And break the chain
