Chicago

[Verse 1]
So you need to kick up your heels
Baby, I can understand
Don't you know how it's making me feel?
I want to be your only man
When it comes right down to the wire
I just need a touch of your fire
But you're living it up
You're giving it up
Seems I'm always waiting for you
To find your yesterday
I think I know what you're trying to do
I got a better way
Baby, soon enough it will end
You'll be reaching out for a friend
But now you're living it up
You're giving it up all the time
Please be mine

[Chorus]
So good at the runaround
You're still making me wait outside
Holding on to broken promises
So good at the runaround
I don't want to stand in line
It's my turn, baby, please just let me in

[Verse 2]
Though you're always out on the town
I feel your loneliness
While your life is leading you around
It's just like an empty kiss
When it comes right down to the truth
Well, it comes right down to you
You've been giving it up and losing in love every time
Please be mine

[Chorus]
So good at the runaround
You're still making me wait outside
Holding on to broken promises
So good at the runaround
I don't want to stand in line
It's my turn, baby, please

[Outro]
So good at the runaround
I still fall for the same old lies
Holding on to broken promises
So good at the runaround
I don't want to lose this time
It's my turn, baby, let me in, just let me in
Baby, please just let me in

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
