​The Aces
Put It on the Line
[Verse 1]
I loved the sound of when you came home
Oh, I was always on the side

[Pre-Chorus]
But when you run me down and you run my mind
Why'd you treat me like that?
When you talk to me, it's always on your time
And I don't really need that

[Chorus]
I thought that you were family
You're not speakin' to me, ooh
Make somethin' out of nothin'
Everyone above me, ooh

[Chorus]
I thought that you were family
You're not speakin' to me
I put it on the line for you
Made somethin' out of nothin'
Everyone above me
Put it on the line for you

[Post-Chorus]
When you run me down and you run my mind
Why'd you treat me like that?
Just a matter of time before you're up my mind
And I don't really need that
[Verse 2]
I used to feel the embers burnin'
Now I'm the queen of apathy

[Pre-Chorus]
When you run me down and you run my mind
Why'd you treat me like that?
When you talk to me it's always on your time
And I don't really need that

[Chorus]
I thought that you were family
You're not speakin' to me
I put it on the line for you
Made somethin' out of nothin'
Everyone above me
Put it on the line for you

[Post-Chorus]
When you run me down and you run my mind
Why'd you treat me like that?
Just a matter of time before you're up my mind
And I don't really need that

[Bridge]
Tell me if I'm runnin' away
Tell me if my secrets are safe
Tell me if you want me to stay
[Chorus]
I thought that you were family
You're not speakin' to me
I put it on the line for you
Made somethin' out of nothin'
Everyone above me
Put it on the line for you

[Post-Chorus]
When you run me down and you run my mind
Why'd you treat me like that?
Just a matter of time before you're up my mind
And I don't really need that
I don't really need that
