He's Runnin 'Round

That man is just a boy and he’ll use you as his toy
And he’ll wrap you up and throw you away
You said you were gonna leave him
Don’t know why you wanna please him
You’ll learn your lesson well some day

‘Cause he’s runnin’ round with somebody’s lady
I saw them yesterday at the bar
If you think you got him hooked
Girl, just take a look
He’s prob’ly in the back seat of your car

He’s promised you a thousand things
From a new dishwasher to diamond rings
There’s a lot of things that money can buy
But you know you can’t depend on him
And you know you can’t defend him
When he plays thefield and strips you of your pride

‘Cause he’s runnin’ round with somebody’s lady
I saw them yesterday at the bar
If you think you got him hooked
Girl, just take a look
He’s prob’ly in the back seat of your car

He’s done this before, he walked in through the door
And he made up all those reasons for being late
He sweet-talked you into believing him
All you were doing was relieving him
‘Cause you came close to finding out about his date

‘Cause he’s runnin’ round with somebody’s lady
I saw them yesterday at the bar
If you think you got him hooked
Girl, just take a look
He’s prob’ly in the back seat of your car

Tell him he shoulda kept his pants on
He won’t have a floor to dance on
Losing you would be his biggest mistake
He must be blind, he will be sorry when he finds that
That girl just ain’t got what it takes

‘Cause he’s runnin’ round with somebody’s lady
I saw them yesterday at the bar
If you think you got him hooked
Girl, just take a look
He’s prob’ly in the back seat of your car
He’s prob’ly in the back seat of your car
He’s prob’ly in the back seat of your car
