The Runaround

by Tsunami

on Tsunami (1983)

The life is stranger
Walking down the street
He won't look me in the eye
Give me the runaround

Find me the answers
Read between the lines
Is that what you put me through
Give me the runaround

The chips are on the table
My fair weather friend
It's time that I call your bluff
Give me the runaround, the runaround, yeah

And now that you mention it
I'm glad you brought up
Is that all you wannt to know
Give me the runaround

You'd better stop
Can't you see what you're doing to me
I think you'd better stop
Can't you see what you're doing to me

Why don't you stop?
Can't you see what you're doing to me
What you're doing to me
Girl, there's got to be another way

Now who can I turn to
Who can I believe
What is what and who is who
Give me the runaround

Now what can you give me
Tell me what it is worth
Just try to cooperate
Give me the runaround, ooh yeah

Testing my fortitude
How much can I take
Don't hand me another load
Give me the runaround, the runaround, yeah

Is that all you wanted
You should have spoken sooner
Sorry I'm out the door
Give me the runaround

You'd better stop
Can't you see what you're doing to me
I think you'd better stop
Can't you see what you're doing to me

Why don't you stop?
Can't you see what you're doing to me
What you're doing to me
Girl, there's got to be another way

Bureaucratic nonsense
Wrap it up with a bow
You'll never get through the tape
Give me the runaround, the runaround, yeah

Now give me a uniform
A weapon made of steel
Breaking down the barricades
Give me the runaround

You'd better stop
Can't you see what you're doing to me
I think you'd better stop
Can't you see what you're doing to me

Why don't you stop?
Can't you see what you're doing to me
What you're doing to me
Girl, there's got to be another way
