After All Your Running Around
(Andreas Genrich)
1.
Saturday night in this two-horse town,
Dreary enough to get anyone down,
Not a place to go, not a thing to do all night,
Life may be dull and we may not be rich,
And honey I know you got that seven-year itch,
And I’m not too proud to say I have my doubts
If I always treated you right.
So now you’re sayin’ you need time away,
Baby you know it takes two to play,
Funny I think I can hear the sounds of goodbye
I could be crazy and I could be wrong,
But I know I can’t stay by myself too long,
Honey don’t do it, if you leave me now
You can bet I’ll be gone for a while.
Chorus:
After all your running around,
When you’re done painting the town
Hope it’s love that you have found,
‘Cause I won’t be there when you’re done running around.
2.
So now it’s come down to you and me,
And if that’s what you want I’m a-settin’ you free,
Honey I won’t shout and I won’t draw out the pain,
Passionate love may not be what it seems,
And I’ve got a feelin’ you’re chasin’ a dream,
Wish you’d rocked your boat and you’d sown your oats before we ever met.
So now you’re sayin’ you need time away, ...
Chorus
So now you’re sayin’ you need time away, ...
Chorus
I won’t be there when you’re done running around,
I won’t be there when you’re done running around.
