Lyrics: Running

Shouldn't have to cry, for you to make me smile
Hey, talking down to me, I got your child, oh whoa
Shouldn't have to beg ya, oh, yo hear me out, no
Shouldn't need another reason, for me to shut you out
But my heart and my mind are in battle

Loving you is like running, running on the line
It's like I'm chasing down the love, and there's no finish line in sight
I just keep on running, running on the line
Then 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, yeah
And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time.

What's a little laughter, oh, when it comes with so much pain?
Oh, I'll be here forever, if I wait for you to change.
Oh, oh, I don't know if I can do it, cause 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!
Cause my heart and my mind are in battle

Loving you is like running, running on the line
It's like I'm chasing down the love, and there's no finish line in sight
I just keep on running, running on the line
Then 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, yeah
And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time.

[Nas]
Yeah, yeah, you got that chrome and purple love
Running and waving, saying, nothing could keeps us from it
That's my woman, but you might fall in love with a youngster
Hipster, someone taller, baller, richer, and locked down
Maybe someone of a different infinite, background, terrific
I wish you the white gown, the God, white veil, rings and roses
Tiara in your hair like a queen
I toast you, told you, lately I'm bingin' on Mercedes Benzes
A lot of my lady friends is getting older
Looking for somebody to cuff 'em
Rush into a husband, don't even truly love 'em
At they best friend's bridal ceremony
Jealous and they lonely, crying but they phony
Yo, Fiona you know me
We still got time to find real L.O.V.E.
Like the lyrics in the real love songs, the oldies
So keep running for 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
Not just arm candy, my dream is to have a family.

All I ever wanted was a love on time
All I ever needed was a love this fine
Did you ever really loved me or is love so blind
Oh here I go, about to cross the line...

Loving you is like running, running on the line
It's like I'm chasing down the love, there's no finish line in sight
I just keep on running, running on the line
Then 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 on running, yeah
And you wonder why I'm so damn tired all the time.
