I've been chasin' after you babe
It seem like a mighty long time
Oh, I think I'm about to reach
Reach the end of my line
Oh, the more I think of you baby
The further from me you get, it seems
Oh, I guess I'm never gonna catch you, baby
'Cause I'm 'bout runnin' out a-steam
Aww,
The first time I saw you girl
It marked the beginnin' of my chase
I've been runnin' after you ever since
And I haven't got any place
Oh, the more I chase you baby
The further from me you get it seems
Oh, I guess I ain't never gonna catch you girl
'Cause I'm 'bout runnin' out a-steam
Even though I really love you girl
Chasin' you is just like chasin' the devil
The harder I run, the more ya have fun
Now I know you wouldn't care if it lasts forever
'Cause the more I chase ya baby
The further from me you get it seems
I guess I ain't never gonna catch you girl
'Cause I'm 'bout runnin' out a-steam
