Joe Firstman Chasing You Down
Stole a verse from Hallelujah, have mercy
I made a reference to a Psalm
Time is money but I ain't old enough
To spend my shiny pennies on a pawn
When I saw her dancing with the fireflies
It surprised her loving folks
And she made me whisper
So that the angels couldn't overhear my dirty jokes
Well, they want you to be
What you'll never be running around with me
I'll be chasing you down
I'm gonna chase you around
Baby, I broke my eyes from staring at you
You broke my madness with one word, I paid off the profits
Of all the pictures of all the pretty blond girls that I left you for
And when I saw you dancing with the derelicts
It affects my way and you made me reason
But your love it was this: my only reason anyway
Well, they want you to be
What you'll never be if you're running around with me
I'll be chasing you down
I'm gonna chase you around
Well, they want you to be
What you'll never be while you're running around with me
I'll be chasing you down
I'm gonna chase you around
How real was your loneliness?
Gave yourself just a little time to think it all through
How full was your emptiness?
Your sweet little bit of bitterness, gave you something better to do
Well, they want you to be
What you'll never be while you're running around with me
I'll be chasing you down
I'm gonna chase you around
Well, they want you to be
What you'll never be while you're running around with me
I'll be chasing you down
I'm gonna chase you around
