  • You're an unusual suspect now and may be right
    The kind all men cannot recollect or forget at night
    You're the rough detective with the smokey eye
    Where the person you are after is the other guy
    The apprentice is the master and the cop's a con
    You hear me laughing in the background

    Don't make me run, baby
    Don't make me run, ah ow
    Don't make me run, baby
    Don't make me run, ah, ow

    Well, I'll make you retell your story now just to trip you up
    This mirror is reflective only if you're tired
    Your instinct is defective, but your crook's on fire
    I, got no prospective when I've tricking a liar, now
    You're so surprised, you hypnotize, it's just so odd
    Well, I'm a rough detective on a glory ride
    You keep going faster so I slow down
    You hear me laughing in the background

    Don't make me run, baby
    Don't make me run, ah ow
    Don't make me run, baby
    Don't make me run, ah, ow

    Ah
    What's happening?
    What's happening?
    Well
    Ah ah ah ah ah ah
    I can't hold it any longer
    I can't hold it anymore

    She looked right at me and laughed is she laughing?
    She looked right at me, is she laughing at me?
    Don't make me run
    Is she laughing at me?
    You're so surprised, you hypnotize, it's just so odd, hey Writer/s: ALISON MOSSHART, DEAN FERTITA, JACK WHITE
