Blues Traveler - Run around lyric

Blues Traveler Title: Run-around Album: Four

	    Once upon a midnight dearie
	    I woke with something in my head
	    I couldn't escape the memory
	    Of a phone call and of what you said
	    Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
	    I could not believe my eyes
	    When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
	    Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
	    Yeah humor me and tell me lies
	    And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
	    And as we seek so shall we find
	    And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
	    But not without a certain degree of fear
	    Of what will be with you and me
	    I still can see things hopefully

	    But you
	    Why you wanna give me a run-around
	    Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
	    When all it does is slow me down

	    And shake me and my confidence
	    About a great many things
	    But I've been there I can see it cower
	    Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
	    Of a bad play where the heroes are right
	    And nobody thinks or expects too much
	    And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
	    Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
	    Hey baby let's keep in touch
	    But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
	    And show me all the things no one else can see
	    So what you feel becomes mine as well
	    And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
	    What's yours and mine the fishing's fine
	    And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't feed me a line

	    But you
	    Why you wanna give me a run-around
	    Is it a sure-fire wa to speed things up
	    When all it does is slow me down

	    Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
	    And I've got some news for you
	    It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
	    And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
	    Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
	    Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
	    But I know no matter what the waitress brings
	    I shall drink it and always be full
	    Yeah I will drink it and always be full
	   

	    Oh I like coffee
	    And I like tea
	    I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
	    I still got this dream that you just can't shake
	    I love you to the point you can no longer take
	    Well all right okay
	    So be that way
	    I hope and pray
	    That there's something left to say

	    But you
	    Why you wanna give me a run-around
	    Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
	    When all it does is slow me down

	    But you
	    Why you wanna give me a run-around
	    Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
	    When all it does is slow me down

 You are scrupulously honest, frank, and straightforward. Therefore you have few friends.
