If you run around, baby, don't run back to me
If you run around, baby, run, I'll set you free
It don't make a difference if it's he or she
If you run around, don't run back to me

If you fool around, baby, keep me in the dark
If you fool around, baby, you know you'll break my heart
You'll break a little promise, you'll break it right in two
If you fool around, I won't fool with you

I could be your lover, baby, be your only man
Don't tell no lies, don't tell no stories, I can't understand

If you play around, baby, you're cheatin' at the game
If you play around, just forget my name
There's losers and there's winners, but nobody plays for free
If you play around, don't play your games with me

Well I had a little dream, it was cold as ice
You came out of the rain, saw another man
Saw another man in your eyes, eyes, eyes

If you run around, baby, don't run back to me
If you run around, baby, run, I'll set you free
I could be your true love, if true is what you'll be
(If you) don't run back to (if you)
Don't run back to (if you run around)
Don't run back
Don't run back to me
