    It is called Run Around it is by Blues Traveler

    Once upon a midnight drearyI woke with something in my

    headI couldn't escape the memoryOf a phone call

    and of what you saidLike a game show contestant with a

    parting giftI could not believe my eyesWhen I saw

    through the voice of a trusted friendWho needs to humor me

    and tell me liesYeah humor me and tell me liesAnd

    I'll lie too and say I don't mindAnd as we seek

    so shall we findAnd when you're feeling open

    I'll still be hereBut not without a certain degree of

    fearOf what will be with you and meI still can see

    things hopefullyBut youWhy you wanna give me a

    run-aroundIs it a sure-fire way to speed things upWhen all it does is slow me downAnd shake me and

    my confidenceAbout a great many thingsBut I've

    been there I can see it cowerLike a nervous magician

    waiting in the wingsOf a bad play where the heroes are

    rightAnd nobody thinks or expects too muchAnd

    Hollywood's calling for the movie rightsSinging hey

    babe let's keep in touchHey baby let's keep in

    touchBut I want more than a touch I want you to reach

    meAnd show me all the things no one else can seeSo

    what you feel becomes mine as wellAnd soon if we're

    lucky we'd be unable to tellWhat's yours and

    mine the fishing's fineAnd it doesn't have to

    rhyme so don't you feed me a lineBut youWhy you wanna give me a run-aroundIs it a sure-fire way

    to speed things upWhen all it does is slow me downTra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speakingAnd I've got some news for youIt seems my ship

    still stands no matter what you dropAnd there ain't a

    whole lot that you can doOh sure the banner may be torn

    and the wind's gotten colderPerhaps I've grown a

    little cynicalBut I know no matter what the waitress

    bringsI shall drink it and always be fullYeah, i

    will drink it and always be fullOh I like coffeeAnd I like teaI'd like to be able to enter a final

    pleaI still got this dream that you just can't

    shakeI love you to the point you can no longer takeWell all right okaySo be that wayI hope and

    prayThat there's something left to sayBut

    youWhy you wanna give me a run-aroundIs it a

    sure-fire way to speed things upWhen all it does is slow

    me downBut youWhy you wanna give me a

    run-aroundIs it a sure-fire way to speed things upWhen all it does is slow me down
