Girl In Red Lyrics - Singles - Maura Matlak / Mah-ruh

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 

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
