Running Around
Love's Deception: Unmasking the Player Within
Lyrics
Baby when you looked me in the eyes I couldn’t help but smile
Expressing joy when the person looked into the eyes
Thinking you were mine
Believing that the person belonged to them
Baby you promised me you’d stay
Recalling a promise from the person to stay
To never walk away
Commitment to not walk away
That’s what you said
Highlighting the spoken promise
But It was just a lie you told me Now I realize you’re only
Realizing the person was deceitful and is a player
A player in disguise
Describing the person as pretending to be something they are not
Why lie to me
Questioning the dishonesty
When I try to be
Expressing the intention to provide support
Here to hold you down
Offering commitment while the person is unfaithful
While you be running around Why lie to me
Questioning the lies while expressing commitment
When I try to be
Repeating the sentiment of line 11
Here to hold you down
Reiterating the commitment despite the person's actions
While you be running around Running around, running around Running around, running around
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of the person's actions
Baby you’re my ride or die
Expressing a deep connection with the person
My one and only guy
Describing the person as the one and only
I need you by my side
Expressing the need for the person's presence
But baby when you are out of sight I’ve been feeling like
Feeling uneasy when the person is not around
Something isn’t right
Suspecting that something is wrong
How can you deny it
Challenging the person to acknowledge the issue
Tell me it’s all in my mind Cheat on me after all this time
Questioning the fidelity of the person
Why lie to me
Reiterating the questioning of dishonesty
When I try to be
Expressing the intention to offer support despite doubts
Here to hold you down
Repeating the commitment to holding the person down
While you be running around Why lie to me
Reiterating the conflict between commitment and the person's actions
When I try to be
Repeating the sentiment of line 25
Here to hold you down
Reiterating the commitment despite the person's unfaithfulness
While you be running around Running around, running around Running around, running around
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of the person's behavior
And I was always there for you There for you, yeah
Highlighting consistent support provided to the person
But boy you just didn’t come through Oh didn’t come through yeah
Expressing disappointment at the person's failure to reciprocate
Why lie to me
Reiterating the questioning of dishonesty
When I try to be
Expressing the intention to support despite the letdown
Here to hold you down
Repeating the commitment to hold the person down
While you be running around
Reiterating the conflict between commitment and the person's actions
Why lie to me
Repeating the sentiment of line 34
When I try to be
Reiterating the commitment despite the person's unfaithfulness
Here to hold you down
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of the person's behavior
While you be running around Running around , running around Yeah I was always there for you
Repeating the consistent support provided
But boy you just didn’t come through Why lie to me
Expressing disappointment at the person's failure to reciprocate
When I try to be
Reiterating the questioning of dishonesty
Here to hold you down
Expressing the intention to support despite the letdown
While you be running around
Repeating the commitment to hold the person down
Why lie to me
Reiterating the conflict between commitment and the person's actions
When I try to be
Repeating the sentiment of line 43
Here to hold you down
Reiterating the commitment despite the person's unfaithfulness
While you be running around
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of the person's behavior
