美國靈魂樂女王［艾瑞莎．富蘭克林］早期作品──靈魂／R&B──［Runnin Out of Fools／傻瓜跑光了］

[Verse 1]

Sure you havent got the wrong number?

You sure its me you want to talk to tonight?

Everyone in towns got your number

Everybodys got you pegged right

[Chorus]

Is that why you got in touch with me?

I guess you must be running out of fools

[Verse 2]

When you went and left me there crying

Your goodbye was even colder than ice

It didnt bother you I was crying

And now you want to break my heart twice

[Chorus]

Is that why you got in touch with me?

I guess you must be running out of fools

[Bridge]

Guess you got back (Guess you got)

To my name (To my name)

In your little black book

Well, listen

Tell you what (Tell you what)

I bet you forgot (You forgot)

How I even look

See upcoming R&B shows

Get tickets for your favorite artists

[Verse 3]

So go ahead with all your sweet talking

Go ahead for all the good it can do

Have yourself a dimes worth of talking

And then Im going to hang right up on you

[Chorus]

Cause this time, youre not, youre not getting through to me

I guess you must be running out of fools

[Outro]

Even fools like me

Even fools like me

I said youre running out of fools

Even old fools like me
