Oh, oh
Mmm hmm
Ow
That's right

She don't like it when it's cut n' dry
And don't like me makin' future plans
And don't want me tryin' to pin her down
She ain't about to give an inch of ground, no, woo

Well, she can take me for a little ride
But just as long as she drive me home
Around the block maybe once or twice
And then some lovin' wouldn't that be nice? Yeah

I won't but I want it
Oh, what a fool believes
I got her in my sight but just out of reach, oh, oh

Here we go around ('round, 'round)
Run, run, runaround ('round, 'round, 'round)
Here we go around ('round, 'round)
She givin' me the runaround, yeah ('round, 'round, 'round)

Uh, a just enough to keep me hangin' on
She knows exactly what I need
And right down to the nick of time
I'm chasin' love down a fine, fine line

Ow, I won't but I want it
Oh, what a fool believes
I got her in my sight but just out of reach, whoa

Here we go around ('round, 'round)
Run, run, runaround, yeah ('round, 'round, 'round)
Here we go around ('round, 'round)
She givin' me the runaround, ('round, 'round, 'round)
Oh ow

Yeah, hey yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, ah, it goes like this
Listen baby, ssss, ooh, ow, ah, uh
Oh man, it's hard enough, yeah
And you make it harder
Ah, fill me up, I'm never satisfied
Own me, she owns it

Here we go around ('round, 'round)
Run, run, runaround, yeah ('round, 'round, 'round)
Here we go around, ('round, 'round)
She givin' me the run around ('round, 'round, 'round)

Here we go around, ('round, 'round)
Run, run, runaround, ('round, 'round, 'round)
Here we go around, ('round, 'round)
She givin' me the runaround, no ('round, 'round, 'round,)

'Round and around
Oh, I like it, uh, I like it
Yeah, but I like it
Baby, say I like it
Uh, I said I like it
Oh, I like it

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
