Runaround Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

My baby's always crying 

My baby wants to see me cry, too 

Chain on my heart is going to break 

'Cause 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 polorized 

He don't know which way to go 

Where would vou be otherwise? 

Otherwise? well, you know we could 

Runaround 

Because I can get this anyway 

Runaround 

I can get this anyway 

Runaround 

I 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
