Ran It In The Ground

(альбом: Natural High - 1972)

You know, sometimes the one you love can hurt you very very much... and the whole world becomes a drag
But what gets me down most of all, is when they do it time and time again. They seem to run their little game in the ground

I'm not sitting down and taking it
(I can't stand it)
I'm gonna make it stop and I won't say a word
It's gonna never be heard by you...
I'm not standing here, while ya dish it out
Heartache and pain, that I could always and forever live without
I didn't know, I didn't know until this very day...
That I was gonna leave but I do now

That was the straw that broke the camel's back, ha
That was the straw that broke the camel's back, ha

Oh yes, and by the way, you've been seeing someone else
I'm not about to quarrel with ya lady
Sit around feeling sorry for myself
I didn't know, I didn't know until this very day...
How to up and leave but I do now

That was the straw that broke the camel's back, ha
That was the straw that broke the camel's back, ha
That was the straw that broke the camel's back, ha
That was the straw that broke the camel's back, ha

All my friends say, oh, that I'm just being brave
And I'd be cutting my nose off to spite my face
Or pulling dirt on my own grave to walk off and leave you
But they didn't believe, they didn't believe til this very day...
That I was gonna leave but they do now

That was the straw that broke the camel's back, ha
That was the straw that broke the camel's back, ha
That was the straw that broke the camel's back, ha
That was the straw that broke the camel's back, ha

You just done ran, you just done ran it in the ground, oh yeah
Aw girl, I'm sick and tired, sick and tired, sick and tired, sick and tired
You should have quit it, now I'm leaving you with it
Aw girl, I'm sick and tired, sick and tired, sick and tired, sick and tired
Ah yeah, whoo yeah
Hey, I'm sick and tired, sick and tired, sick and tired, sick and tired
Whoo, ya ran it in the ground
Oh girl, I'm sick and tired, sick and tired, sick and tired, sick and tired

You know, sometimes the one you love can hurt you very very much... and the whole world becomes a drag
But what gets me down most of all, is when they do it time and time again. They seem to run their little game in the ground
