[Verse 1]
Well don't give me the runaround
Oh won’t you be clear?
Are you calling just to tease me, or do you want to be here?
Well don't give me the runaround
Don't even take my head
Girl, unless you want the rest
I hope you understand
Yeah

[Chorus]
Cause I need to know that you know, that you know
That you know that you love me, love me
And don’t mess around, mess around
Mom and Pop are coming down just to meet you
And don't jerk my chain
That ain't nice girl, I only want to please you
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Well don't give me the runaround
Oh lay it to me straight
Are you going to walk with me, girl, or are you going to walk away?
And don't give me the runaround, don't tickle my ear
Oh your words are so practiced and I don't want to hear
Yeah
