Gladys Knight & The Pips — Runnin Out

[Intro] Oooh oooh [Verse 1] I'm runnin' out of teardrops Runnin' out of heartaches Sick and tired of your lies And excusing what you do (What you do) [Chorus] Runnin' out of forgiveness Runnin' out of doin' my best One old day, before you count to two I'll beat and run out on you [Verse 2] Runnin' out of strength to fight Runnin' out of lonely nights Runnin' out of cloudy days And always feelin' blue (Feelin' blue) [Chorus] Runnin' out of cryin' in vain Runnin' out of hurt and pain And one old day, before you count to two I'll beat and run out on you [Bridge] I gave you all my lovin' (Gave you my lovin') Just to be mine (Gave you my lovin') I tried to do what's right And be good and kind I'm not gonna be nobody's (Nobody's puppet) Puppet on a string I've got news for you I can do all those things (I can do it, I can do it) Baby, baby [Verse 3] Don't you know that I'm runnin' out of bein' a fool (Runnin' out) Runnin' out of goin' by the rule, now (Runnin' out) Sick and tired of being ashamed And offended at what you do [Chorus] Runnin' out of words to say, now (Runnin' out) Runnin' out of prayers to pray, now (Runnin' out) One old day, before you count to two I'll beat and run out on you (Runnin' out) You, you, you, baby baby (Runnin' out) [Outro] I can't stand it (Runnin' out, you got to run out) My heart won't take it, now (Runnin' out, you got to run out) I can't stand it (Runnin' out, you got to run out) No, no, I can't take it, now (Runnin' out, you got to run out) Runnin' out, runnin' out (Runnin' out, you got to run out) Runnin' out, baby (Runnin' out, you got to run out) I can't stand it (Runnin' out, you got to run out)
