Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow
But you could choke to death on your pride
Did you think you might be the reason
Can you go to bed with your lies
[Chorus]
You should know that you re fighting for nothing
When deep down you re just looking for something
You keep giving up the third degree
But you don t stand a chance if you re messin with me
All this time you ve been givin the run around
Spreading it around
It s running you out of town
You keep giving up the third degree
Wellyou don t stand a chance if you re messin with me
You re playing king in your ivory tower
It doesn t matter what happens to us
Well if this is your best then you ve got what you wanted
You can take what s left and have fun by yourself
[Chorus]
You should know that you re fighting for nothing
You keep giving up the third degree
But you don t stand a chance if you re messin with me
All this time you ve been givin the run around
Spreading it around
It s running you out of town
You keep giving up the third degree
Wellyou don t stand a chance if you re messin with me
So long, just so long
To everyone that you ve wronged
Cause it s not gonna work
No it never works on me, or on anyone
[Chorus]
You should know that you re fighting for nothing
When deep down you re just looking for something
You keep giving up the third degree
But you don t stand a chance if you re messin with me
All this time you ve been givin the run around
Spreading it around
It s running you out of town
You keep giving up the third degree
Well you don't stand a chance if you re messin with me.
