Lyrics Mothloop (BBC live at Hatfield Polytechnic 1984) - Shriekback

I'm walking on my toes
Because you're stepping closer
You're running rings around me most of the time.
I'd be OK if I could
Leave out jealousy but
I'm only human, well, most of the time.

And it's better for you, it's not so clever for me
You're running rings around me all of the time
And it's better for you, it's not so clever for me
You're running rings around me all of the time.

I'm walking on my toes
Because you're stepping closer
You're running rings around me most of the time.
Reciting former lovers
Score points off one another
Just want to be under cover most of the time.

And it's better for you, it's not so clever for me
You're running rings around me all of the time
And it's better for you, it's not so clever for me
You're running rings around me all of the time.

Preoccupation lingers
Just feel my sweaty fingers
Try not to let it bug me most of the time.
I'd be OK if I could
Leave out jealousy but
I'm only human, well, most of the time.

And it's better for you, it's not so clever for me
You're running rings around me all of the time
And it's better for you, it's not so clever for me
You're running rings around me all of the time.
