[Intro]
Ah yeah
Something's bugging me
[Verse 1]
When you're feeling alright, I never see you coming, no no
But when you're hurt, oh baby, you always come a running didn't ya? (Come a running)
But one of these days I know, I'm gonna have to let you go
[Chorus]
Then tell me who you gonna run to?
Where you gonna hide?
Who you gonna tell that you're hurting inside?
[Verse 2]
When you're going strong
I don't see you at all (Never see you at all)
But when things go wrong, baby, baby
That's when you call, dig it, listen, tell me
But if you keep doing like you do
I'm gonna turn my back on you
[Chorus]
Then tell me who you gonna run to?
Where you gonna hide?
Who, who, who you gonna tell that, that you're hurting inside? (Ya!)
Oh, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 3]
Oh, when you climbed love's tree, you climbed the tree, thought that love was a game, baby
Baby but now you're out on a sealed, yeah ha, yeah, you keep a calling my name, baby, dig it, listen
One of these days I'm bound, to let you come tumbling down, down, down, down
[Chorus]
Then tell me who you gonna run to? (U-uu)
Where you gonna hide? (Hide)
Who, who, you gonna tell that (Tell that) that you're hurting (Hurting)
You're hurting (Hurting)
You're hurting (Hurting)
You're hurting inside (Hurting inside)
Tell me who, who, you gonna run to... (U-uu)
Then tell me...
Ah yeah
Something's bugging me
[Verse 1]
When you're feeling alright, I never see you coming, no no
But when you're hurt, oh baby, you always come a running didn't ya? (Come a running)
But one of these days I know, I'm gonna have to let you go
[Chorus]
Then tell me who you gonna run to?
Where you gonna hide?
Who you gonna tell that you're hurting inside?
[Verse 2]
When you're going strong
I don't see you at all (Never see you at all)
But when things go wrong, baby, baby
That's when you call, dig it, listen, tell me
But if you keep doing like you do
I'm gonna turn my back on you
[Chorus]
Then tell me who you gonna run to?
