Rodgers I've been running for too many long years Chasing shadows as the sun goes down All that I am, all that we were together Fool that I've been, I let it go it's gone forever Have mercy baby Have mercy on a fool in love Don't condemn me to a life without you Don't find me guilty and push me away I've been running for too many long years Chasing shadows as the sun goes down I've been running for too many long years But if you run they say the truth will hunt you down I learned the truth hard as it was to face it The truth about myself hard as it was to take it I'm as guilty as a man can be I'm as guilty as you want to make me feel Oh but spare me the coldness of your attitude And save me from this lonely solitude Nothing else could shake me Nothing else could make me see Nothing else could break this heart of stone Nothing but the truth now it won't leave me alone I didn't treat you right Thought only about myself I've been running for too many long years Oooh baby, yes I am I've been running for too many lonely years It's time caught up with myself I've been running for too many long years It's time caught up with myself I've been running for too many lonely years But I don't love nobody else I don't love nobody else Nobody but you I'm chasing shadows
