The Truth About Cats & Dogs movie - Run-Around lyrics

rate me

Song by Blues Traveler<br /><br>

Once upon a midnight dearie<br>

I woke with something in my head<br>

I couldn't escape the memory<br>

Of a phone call and of what you said<br>

Like a game show contestant with a parting gift<br>

I could not believe my eyes<br>

When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend<br>

Who needs to humor me and tell me lies<br>

Yeah humor me and tell me lies<br>

And I'll lie too and say I don't mind<br>

And as we seek so shall we find<br>

And when you're feeling open I'll still be here<br>

But not without a certain degree of fear<br>

Of what will be with you and me<br>

I still can see things hopefully <br>

<br>

But you<br>

Why you wanna give me a run-around<br>

Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up<br>

When all it does is slow me down <br>

<br>

And shake me and my confidence<br>

About a great many things<br>

But I've been there I can see it cower<br>

Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings<br>

Of a bad play where the heroes are right<br>

And nobody thinks or expects too much<br>

And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights<br>

Singing hey babe let's keep in touch<br>

Hey baby let's keep in touch<br>

But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me<br>

And show me all the things no one else can see<br>

So what you feel becomes mine as well<br>

And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell<br>

What's yours and mine the fishing's fine<br>

And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line <br>

<br>

But you<br>

Why you wanna give me a run-around<br>

Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up<br>

When all it does is slow me down <br>

<br>

Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking<br>

And I've got some news for you<br>

It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop<br>

And there ain't a whole lot that you can do<br>

Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder<br>

Perhaps I've grown a little cynical<br>

But I know no matter what the waitress brings<br>

I shall drink in and always be full<br>

My cup shall always be full <br>

<br>

Oh I like coffee<br>

And I like tea<br>

I'd like to be able to enter a final plea<br>

I still got this dream that you just can't shake<br>

I love you to the point you can no longer take<br>

Well all right okay<br>

So be that way<br>

I hope and pray<br>

That there's something left to say <br>

<br>

But you<br>

Why you wanna give me a run-around<br>

Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up<br>

When all it does is slow me down <br>

<br>

But you<br>

Why you wanna give me a run-around<br>

Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up<br>

When all it does is slow me down<br>

<br>
