YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME RUNNIN

(JOHN DAWSON)

I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT WENT WRONG BUT I'VE BEEN LOOKIN' FOR A SONG
THAT I LOST, SOMEWHERE OUT ON THE WAY
AND IT'S BEEN THE WORST OF YEARS, I JUST COULDN'T COUNT THE TEARS
BUT I THINK I HEAR THAT MELODY AGAIN TODAY

SO YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME RUNNIN
RUNNIN ALL THE WAY
YEAH, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME RUNNIN
COMING HERE TODAY
YEAH, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME CRYIN'
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY
SO YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN ME TRYIN'
TO GET BACK HERE TODAY, TO GET BACK HERE TODAY

WELL I WAS HAPPY FOR A WHILE AND I ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON MY FACE
TO SHOW THE LOVE WE HAD
BUT YOU THOUGHT YOU OUGHT TO GO
AND I THOUGHT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
THAT SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE I NEVER HAVE FELT SO BAD

AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME RUNNIN
RUNNIN ALL THE WAY
OH YEAH, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME RUNNIN
COMING HERE TODAY
OH, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME CRYIN'
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY
SO YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN ME TRYIN'
TO GET BACK HERE TODAY, TO GET BACK HERE TODAY

WELL I'VE BEEN DYIN' FOR YOUR SWEET, SWEET LOVIN EVER SINCE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME RUNNIN, RUNNIN, RUNNIN
COMING BACK TODAY, SHE'S COMING BACK TODAY
