Girl In Red Lyrics

You got what you wanted, you've gotten my attention
but now that you've got it, you run the other direction
I should've seen it coming but hey, what can I say -
I've always been a sucker for a little affection
Who made you President of my world?
I don't remember voting in that election
and I don't know why I keep trying so hard here
all in the name of some illusive connection

Bet ya got eyes in the back of your head
the better to watch while I'm misled
You're the big bad wolf, I'm the girl in red

Better pick up those feet cuz the wolf's hot on your heels
but it's hard to outrun someone who jumps the gun
Go ahead and state your plea but no matter your appeal
you'll never outrun someone who jumps the gun

Another Sunday morning, hey look where I am -
waking up with you like it's my religion
I don't truly trust you but you run a good scam
and I'm walking into danger like a New York pigeon
You'd never know from looking my true IQ Maura Matlak / Mah-ruh - Girl In Red - http://motolyrics.com/maura-matlak-mah-ruh/girl-in-red-lyrics.html
but a girl can't think under these conditions
No, it's not exactly what I had in mind
when I rubbed the lamp and made the wishes

I bet ya got eyes in the back of your head
the better to watch while I'm misled
You're the big bad wolf, I'm the girl in red

Better pick up those feet cuz the wolf's hot on your heels
but it's hard to outrun someone who jumps the gun
Go ahead and state your plea but no matter your appeal
you'll never outrun someone who jumps the gun

And even though I know I shouldn't, I do it anyway
and even though I see right through it, I know you'll have your way
You just want my basket of treats
my muffins
and pies
and strawberry sweets
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray you don't wreck me

Run, run, run, run, run, run
run, run, run, run, run, run
