It's not because I'm brutal It's not because I'm mean But my course of action cannot be for seen I run you ragged, I know I run you ragged, I know You don't claim perfection You don't mind the dearth But the unpredictable overturns the earth I run you ragged, I know I run you ragged, I know You try to be strong But I'm tripping you up Please hang tough You're my solid rock You can deal with outbursts Your sentiment is barred But the sudden changes Catch you off your guard I run you ragged, I know I run you ragged, I know You try to be strong But I'm tripping you up Please hang tough You're my solid rock I'm sorry I can't help it It's out of my control On the spinning roulette I am a tumbling ball I run me ragged, you know You try to be strong But I'm tripping you up Please hang tough You're my solid rock You try to be strong But I'm tripping you up Please hang tough You're my solid rock
