Joe Firstman Chasing You Down lyrics

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
