  • Let's go
    Break

    Boy, you've been running around too long
    And I think that you're running out of time
    No more jumping in and out of bed
    Now it's time for me to draw the line

    So you think that you can call me the only one
    Then walk out the door
    And you think that you can run around having fun
    And then come back for more
    I think that you're living in a fantasy
    It's gotta be them or me
    So if you try it one more time

    Baby, don't expect me to come running back
    Running back to you
    Then you'll think about love, all the good love I gave to you
    I won't come running, running back to you
    And I'll find someone, somebody else to give it to

    Oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh, oh-oh
    I won't come running back
    I won't come running
    Oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh, oh-oh
    I won't come running back
    I won't come running

    Boy, hope you see before too late
    I won't play the fool, no, not this time
    I'll show you just how wrong you are
    To think that I just can't get you off my mind

    So you think that you can just play me off
    Then walk out the door
    And you think that you can run around having fun
    And then come back for more
    I think that you're living in a fantasy
    It's gotta be them or me
    And if you diss me once more

    Baby, don't expect me to come running back
    Running back to you
    Then you'll think about love, all the good love I gave to you
    I won't come running, running back to you
    And I'll find someone, somebody else to give it to

    Oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh, oh-oh
    I won't come running back
    I won't come running
    Oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh, oh-oh
    I won't come running back
    I won't come running

    You can't just diss me when you wanna (diss me when you wanna)
    Or come and go when you wanna (come and go when you wanna)
    I hear you're playing around when you wanna (around when you wanna)
    Anytime that you wanna (oh, oh, oh, oh)
    Or just tell me lies when you wanna (tell me lies when you wanna)
    I got more than you wanna
    Oh, and by the way, this one's for you

    I won't come running back
    I won't come running
    No
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    I won't come running back, no
    I won't come running
    (Oh-oh) running, running, running, running
    Running, running, running

    I won't come running, running back to you
    Then you'll think about love, all the good love I gave to you
    I won't come running, running back to you
    And I'll find someone, somebody else to give it to

    Oh no, I won't come running back
    I won't come running
    No, oh no
    I won't come running back
    I won't come running
    (Running back to you) no, no, no
    Get the message?
