[Verse 1]
Thought by now I'd be somebody's wife
Drippin' champagne as we toast our lives
Instead each date, I wait, for Mr. right
Feelin' like I'm running running outta' time
[Pre-Chorus]
Sweet melodies keep me on my feet, on my feet
I don't wanna' a seat til it's right for me
[Chorus]
When the music stop playing, music stop, don't run, don't run
You betta' practice your patience, one day you will make it
So what, so what
All these boys and girls fallin' out of despair
Playin' love like it's musical chairs
When the music stop playing, music stop
Don't run don't run my love
[Verse 2]
When I was a kid, I painted timelines for my life
Based on the TV screen and all my magazines, nothing but lies
Now I walk in circles lookin' like a failure in my eyes - right
With every step I'm dizzier and it hurts, but I won't compromise
[Pre-Chorus]
Sweet melodies keep me on my feet
I don't wanna' seat til it's right for me
[Chorus]
When the music stop playing, music stop, don't run, don't run
You betta' practice your patience, one day you will make it
So what, so what
All these boy and girls fallin' out of despair
Playin' love like it's musical chairs
When the music stop playing, music stop
Don't run don't run my love
Don't you run, run, run, run, run, run no
Don't you run, run, run, run, run, run no
Love ain't no silly game
I keep on telling myself love ain't no silly game - no
Real real love takes time to make
Don't you run, your day will come
Love don't rush
[Chorus]
When the music stop playing, music stop, don't run, don't run
You betta' practice your patience, one day you will make it
So what, so what
All these boys and girls fallin' out of despair
Playin' love like it's musical chairs
When the music stop playing, music stop
Don't run don't run my love
