Running Back To You
Vanessa Williams Lyrics

Boy you've been running around too long
You have been behaving erratically for too long

And I think you're running out of time
You are close to being out of chances

No more jumping in and out of my bed
I won't allow you to casually use my intimacy anymore

It's time for me to draw the line
I must make a firm decision to assert my boundaries

So you think that you call me the only one
You may believe that I am the sole person you need

Then walk out the door
But then you choose to leave

And you think that you can run around having fun
You continue to believe that irresponsible behavior is allowable

And just come back for more
You have the impression that I am a fallback option

I think that you're living in a fantasy
Your attitudes are detached from the reality of the situation

It's got to be them or me
It's necessary to choose me or others

So if you try it one more time
If you make another attempt

Baby don't expect me to come running back
You can't count on my forgiveness a third time

Running back to you
Returning to your arms

Then you'll think about love, all the good love I gave to you
Upon reuniting, you will recall all the love I have given

I won't come running
I won't be returning

And I'll find someone, somebody else to give it to
I will direct my love to someone else

Boy, hope you see before to late
I hope you realize this before it's too late

I won't play the fool no not this time
I won't be taken for granted again

And I'll show you just how wrong you are
I will demonstrate your errors

To think I just can't get you out of my mind
To believe that I cannot forget you

And if you dis me once more
If you insult me again

You can't just dis me when you want to
It's not acceptable to insult me at your leisure

Or come and go when you want to
You can't casually come and go as you please

I hear you're playing around when you want to
I've heard rumors that you take advantage at will

Any time that you want to
At any moment you want to

Or just tell me lies when you want to
Or fabricate falsehoods to your convenience

I got more than you want ah
I have more than you bargain for

And I'll find someone, somebody else to give it to
I will redirect my love elsewhere
