Running

[Verse 1]

Shouldn't Have To Cry For You To Make Me Smile

Hey, Talking Down To Me, Like I'm your Child, Oh

Shouldn't Have To Beg You, To Hear Me Out, Oh

Shouldn't Need Another Reason, For Me To Shut You Out

But My Heart and My Mind Are In Battle

Chorus:

Loving You Is Like Running

Running On The Line

Is Like I'm Chasing Down The Love

And There's No Finish Line Inside

I Just Keep On Running

Running On The Line

Then You Wonder Why I'm So Damn Tired All The Time!

I Keep On Running

Feels Like I'm Running, Running On The Line

I Keep On Running, Yeah

And You Wonder Why I'm So Damn Tired All The Time

[Verse 2]

What's A Little Laughter, Oh

When It Comes With So Much Pain?

Oh, I'll Be Here Forever

If I Wait For You To Change

Oh, Oh, I Don't Know If I Can Do It

Cause I'm Running Low On Fluid

Can't Believe You Brought Me To This

Open My Heart, You Straight use It

What's It Gonna Take For Me To Break Away?

I Really Don' Know, Hey!

Cause My Heart and My Mind are in Battle

Chorus:

Loving You Is Like Running

Running On The Line

Is Like I'm Chasing Down The Love

And There's No Finish Line Inside

I Just Keep On Running

Running On The Line

And You Wonder Why I'm So Damn Tired All The Time!

I Keep On Running

Feels Like I'm Running, Running On The Line

I Keep On Running, Yeah

And You Wonder Why I'm So Damn Tired All The Time

[Verse 3:Nas]

Yeah, yeah

You got the color purple on, Running and waving

Saying nothing can keep us from it

Thats my woman, but you might fall in love with the youngster

Hipster, someone taller, bolder, richer, and locked down

Maybe someone of a different ethnic background, terrific

I wish you the white gown

The garter, white veil, rings and roses

Tiara in your hair like a queen

I toast ya, told you

Lately I’m binging on Mercedes Benzes

Lot of my lady friends is getting older

Looking for somebody to cuff them

Rush into a husband

Don’t even truly love them

At they best friends bridal ceremony

Jealous and they lonely

Cryin', but they’re phony

Yo, Fiona, you know me

We still got time to find real L-O-V-E

Like the lyrics in the real love songs, the oldies

So keep running for me

If you’re out there listening

Sir Nas don’t need a trophy I need a Mrs

Trying to give it that wife and kids business

Not just arm candy

My dream is to have a family

[Fiona] Bridge:

All I ever wanted was a love on top

All I ever needed was a love that's mine

Did you ever really love me or is love so blind

Uh, here I go I'm 'bout to cross the line

Chorus:

Loving You Is Like Running

Running On The Line

Is Like I'm Chasing Down The Love

And There's No Finish Line Inside

I Just Keep On Running

Running On The Line

Then You Wonder Why I'm So Damn Tired All The Time!

I Keep On Running

Feels Like I'm Running, Running On The Line

I Keep On Running, Yeah

And You Wonder Why I'm So Damn Tired All The Time
