Had To Run Around

(album: The Merry-Go-Round - 1967)

When you find you are not so smart
And you wind up with a broken heart
Just remember you'll be the only one who'll cry

You'll find out before too long
That you were oh so very wrong
When you thought he would be a better man than I

Had to run around, had to run around
You don't know what you want so how can you think you can find it?

I gave all of myself to you
But you had to find something new
You are just not the kind of girl to love one guy

So you said you'll be on your way
There was no use for you to stay
For you had finally made up your mind to say goodbye

Had to run around, had to run around
You don't know what you want but someday you'll settle down

And when you do, you'll think of me
And then you'll see that you were wrong
And then you'll know you hurt me so
When I found out you had gone

Can't you see you were wrong?

Had to run around, had to run around
You don't know what you want but someday you'll settle down

And when you do, you'll think of me
And then you'll see that you were wrong
And then you'll know you hurt me so
When I found out you had gone

Can't you see you were wrong?

When you find you are not so smart
And you wind up with a broken heart
Just remember you'll be the only one who'll cry

Had to run around, had to run around, had to run around
