Well, I've been thinking about you all night long What you been a doing to me You told me that you love me, I thought that you loved me But you never was true to me. Well they say you're getting tired of all your running around You're wanting me to settle dowm It too much water run under the bridge And I'm too mad to come back now. Well, there's things I've been wanting to tell you There's a lot of things you need to know And I don't think I'll wait for a later date Now's the time to let you know. 'Cause there's been too many nights I've waited at your door While you run around on me But I got to thinking my ship started sinking And I thought I'd better swim the sea. So now my telephones ringing, pretty girls singing So go ahead and run around It's just too much water run under the bridge And I'm too mad to come back now. Well, there's things I've been wanting to tell you There's a lot of things you need to know And I don't think I'll wait for a later date Now's the time to let you know. 'Cause there's been too many nights I've waited at your door While you run around on me But I got to thinking my ship started sinking And I thought I'd better swim the sea. So now my telephones ringing, pretty girls singing So go ahead and run around It's just too much water run under the bridge And I'm too mad to come back now.
