[Intro]
Right time, right time, right time, right time
Hoo cha, hoo cha, hoop a dee la
Hoo cha, hoo cha, hoop a dee la
Hoo cha, hoo cha, hoop a dee la
Dee la, dee la, dee la, ow
[Chorus]
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
[Verse 1]
Sometimes you're with me, sometimes you're with her
You keep goin' from door to door
What kind of love are you lookin' for?
I'm trying to hold on, told you to come on
Must be something in your blood
To make you give up so much loving
[Chorus]
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
(You keep)
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
[Verse 2]
I call you on the phone but you ain't never home
You keep wanting to play the field
You can't let yourself be still
You're moving too fast
Our love cannot last
And with you not here with me
Ain't but one place you can be
[Chorus]
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
[Bridge]
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Tell me who you're loving boy
(Tell me)
If it's me then hold me tight
(Hold me)
Let me know you're mine
[Chorus]
You keep runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
[Outro]
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
Keep on movin', keep on pushin'
What's the matter with you baby?
I'm your lady
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
Come on now
Hear me boy
Hey, I'm not your toy
Which way
Your love's gonna go
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
I'm trying to hold on
You keep doing me wrong
Come on now baby
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
Gotta make up your mind boy
I want to be yours
Come on now, which way
Your love's gonna go
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
I'm trying to hold on
But you won't let me
Come on now baby
Which way
Your love's gonna go
Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin back and forth
Which way, which way, which way
Your love's gonna go
You're moving too fast
How can it last?
Oh no, which way
Your love's gonna go
