Runner Girl

You must be on a marathon

Was I just water on your hips?

This endless foot race wearing on

Where you can sweat me out in drips

What is your plan? Whatcha doin'?

What is your plan? Whatcha doin'?

You gotta know your way around

Before you run, before you run

I said, you gotta know your way around

Another one, another one, there goes another

Runner girl, take your mark and ready set

But please, don't go yet, don't go yet, I know

You gotta know your way around before you run

Before the starting gun

Hey, hi Pheidippides, nice Nikes

Well, did your sneakers come with wings?

You're Hermes with no messages

But still stuck on delivering

What is your final destination?

Oh, you never know, you never know, do ya now?

You gotta know your way around

Before you run, before you run

I said, you gotta know your way around

Another one, another one, there goes another

Runner girl, take your mark and ready set

But please, don't go yet, don't go yet, I know

You gotta know your way around before you run

Before the starting gun

Are you still chasing fictions with your laces loose?

You know a runner is a leaver, ah, but it's no use

Don't be so quick to think solution to your problems is magic marker on a map

Aren't you ever coming back?

Because you gotta know your way around

Before you run, before you run

I said, you gotta know your way around

Another one, another one, there goes another

Runner girl, take your mark and ready set

But please, don't go yet, don't go yet, I know

You gotta know your way around before you run

Before the starting gun
