Lyrics
I spent two nights in K town, two nights in Brixton Then to my ex's to see if I missed him Contemplating the wastemen I'm dating And should I cut it out? 'Cause I'm coming to terms with my alter ego Packed my pride and shelved my libido Stopped my searchin', it's me that I'm hurtin' And there's no room for doubt I promised myself I'd keep from his help Don't need no one else Just 'cause I'm afraid of lovin' Don't mean I don't want to love him Runnin' circles with no shame (With no shame, with no shame) But always comin' home to nothin' So then I'm runnin' through East Street with emotional baggage Asked a man if he'd give me a hand please Holds it up and says, "Where is this weight from?" Told him, "It's years of accepting the cheap love" Little did I know, he was a veteran Little did I know, he'd find my hand again Chasin' up the South with some cherry wine It's looking like there's something in the air tonight I promised myself I'd keep from his help Don't need no one else Just 'cause I'm afraid of lovin' Don't mean I don't want to love him Runnin' circles with no shame (With no shame, with no shame) But always comin' home to nothin' Just 'cause I'm afraid of lovin' Don't mean I don't want to love him Runnin' circles with no shame (With no shame, with no shame) But always comin' home to nothin' Runnin' circles with no shame (With no shame, with no shame) But always comin' home to nothin'
