Running - Melanie Fiona/Nas

Shouldn't have to cry

For you to make me smile' hey

Talking down to me

Like I'm your child' oh boy

Shouldn't have to beg ya' oh

To hear me out' no

Shouldn't need another reason

For me to shut you out

Put my heart and my mind are in battle

Lovin' you's like running' running on the line

It's like I'm chasing down the lovin' there's no finish line in sight

I just keep on running' running on the line

And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time

I keep on running

(keep running' I keep running' keep running' I keep running)

Feels like I'm running' running on the line

I keep on running

And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time

What's a little laughter' oooh

When he comes with so much pain

I'll be here for-ever

If I wait for you to change' uh uh oh

I don't know if I can do it

Cuz I'm running low on fluid

Can't believe you brought me to this

Open my heart' you straight abuse it

What's it gonna take

For me to break away

I really don't know' hey

Cuz my heart and my mind are in battle

Lovin' you's like running' running on the line

It's like I'm chasing down the lovin' there's no finish line in sight

I just keep on running' running on the line

And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time

I keep on running

Feels like I'm running' running on the line

I keep on running

And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time

Yeah' Yeah

You got that chrome and purple love

Running and waving

Saying nothing can keeps us from it

That's my woman' but you might fall in love with the youngster

Hipster' someone taller' baller' richer' and locked down

Maybe someone of a different' infinite' background terrific

I wish ya the white gown

The God' a white veil' rings and roses

Tiara in your hair like a queen

I toast ya' told ya' lately I'm bingin' on Mercedes Benzes

Lot of my lady friends is getting older

Looking for somebody to cuff em

Rush into a husband' don't even truly love them

At they best friend's bridal ceremony' jealous and they're lonely'

Cryin'' but they're phony

Yo' Fiona' you know me

Yo we still got time to find real L O V E

Like the lyrics in the real love songs'

The oldies' so keep runnin' fo' me

If you're out there listening'

So Nas don't need a trophy' I need a misses

Trying to get with that "wife and kids" business

No just arm candy' my dream is to have a family

All I ever wanted was a love on top

All I ever needed was a love that's mine

Did you ever really love me or is love so blind

Uh' here I go I'm 'bout to cross the line

Lovin' you's like running' running on the line

It's like I'm chasing down the lovin' there's no finish line in sight

I just keep on running' running on the line

And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time

I keep on running

Feels like I'm running' running on the line

I can't keep running

And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time
