Boy you've been running around too long
And I think you're running out of time
No more jumping in and out of my bed
It's time for me to draw the line
So you think that you call me the only one
Then walk out the door
And you think that you can run around having fun
And just come back for more
I think that you're living in a fantasy
It's got to 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

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

So you think that you can just play me off
Then walk out the door
And you think that you can just run around
And come back for more
I think that you're living in a fantasy
It's got to be them or me
And if you dis 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

You can't just dis me when you want to
Or come and go when you want to
I hear you're playing around when you want to
Any time that you want to
Or just tell me lies when you want to
I got more than you want ah
Oh, and by the way

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

Vanessa Williams

Vanessa Lynn Williams (born March 18, 1963) is an American singer, actress, and fashion designer. She initially gained recognition as the first woman of African-American descent to receive the Miss America title when she was crowned Miss America 1984 in 1983. However, a scandal arose the following year when, a few weeks prior to the end of her reign, Williams learned that Penthouse magazine would be publishing unauthorized nude photographs of her in an upcoming issue. Amid growing media controversy and scrutiny, Williams resigned as Miss America in July 1984 (under pressure from the Miss America Organization), and was replaced by first runner-up Miss New Jersey Suzette Charles. Thirty-two years later, Miss America CEO Sam Haskell offered her a public apology … more »
