Hey hey
Ooooh
It's been a couple months since we both left home
I been running here miles you won't answer your phone
Know that I never want to leave you on your own
But the bobbies they came close so you know I had to go
Feels like I been running this time since time began
I must'a lost track of the time and it overran
I tried to play the show but they just told me no
And then they stopped coming now I'm falling off
The edge I'm sittin'
Cos this city life you know it's gettin' me down
It never stops you see it always spins round
Such a rush everywhere I'm close to melt down
See I only show my face in the night
'Cos I'm the smooth runner
Tell mumma that I love her
It's the smooth runner
No time to play the lover
I'm the smooth runner
I don't wish it on no other
Should'a spent my life out different
Send word out to my brother
Should never started that fight
We were livin' it right
We were working through it
Life was at our fingertips
But the bottle always got in the way
And now we're never gonna finish this
When the five oh come my way
You know my life they're straight up binnin'
And when they get me I'll be out of luck
So send my love to my babies
'Cos you know I ain't walkin'
Might be some time
So make sure it the truth they know
That I've always tried to be there
And one day I'll show them so
Tell them that I'm sorry if it's a long time coming
And baby no it's no joke no I won't be forgotten
I'll be there with you every time that I'm no
Don't make no sound
'Cos you know that they'll be sad when I'm no longer around
'Cos I'm the smooth runner
Tell mumma that I love her
It's the smooth runner
No time to play the lover
I'm the smooth runner
I don't wish it on no other
Should'a spent my life out different
Send word out to my brother
Come on
You're a mum and I'm a dad
We can't keep going on
This way this was
It's bad enough the babies don't know if they gonna see us
Each day each day
I know I'm no help the way I am
And there's nothing else that I can say
But if we keep on going this way
They're gonna take 'em both away
Smooth runner
'Cos you're my last hope girl
Smooth runner
You and them are all I've got
Smooth runner
What little I had is lost
Every time that I'm out it don't take long till I drop
I am the smooth runner
'Cos I got nowhere to turn
Smooth runner
Just got some cash made up to burn
Smooth runner
And though I'm feeling the cost
I'm a keep on going this way
Cos I feel my life is lost
I am the smooth runner
