Lyrics
So where did I gone wrong
To think we once belonged
And lines of old love songs
Was it me, see
I've opened up my eyes
To find you in disguise
The who what when where why's
Don't add up enough
If you ain't hidin' something
Then why you runnin'
You better slow down honey
And I'll let you have your way
Way with me tonight
But something just ain't right
The balance in these lies
Can we speak alone oh oh oh
And now I've come to see
Just what will never be
So don't come runnin' after me
When I walk away
If you ain't hidin' something
Then why you runnin'
You better slow down honey
Doo Doo Do Do Do Do
Doo Doo Do Do Do Do
So tell me something
Why you runnin'
You gotta slow down honey
And i'll let you have your way
I'lll let you have your way with me
Don't leave me alone
(is all I'm asking)
Don't leave me alone
(stay)
I'll stand here in my skin
Just tell me if you're hidin' something
Then why you runnin'
Doo Doo do do do do
Doo Doo do do do do
Oh oh oh oh
Why you runnin'
You gotta slow down honey
And I'll let you have your way
Way with me tonight
But something just ain't right
Doo Doo do do do do
Doo Doo do do do do
Oh oh oh oh
Doo Doo do do do do
Doo Doo do do do do
