Better wear a size 4. Better have a boyfriend
Better look like someone on, someone on TV
Better have a hairstyle that changes almost weekly baby, yeah,
Just to keep it interesting for me

These are your qualifications for love, qualifications for love
These are your qualifications for love

Better have some cash flow cuz chivalry’s a no-no
I believe in our equali… our equality
Better not be too smart cuz you know that I’m not
Can’t have you intimidating meRunning in Circles

I’ve been running in circles, thinking I might get somewhere
I’ve been wearing myself out just swinging at ghosts in the air
I’ve been planning my speeches and my victory dance
I’ve been planning to make quite a name for myself when I get a chance

Till you break my heart again, Till you break my heart again

I’ve been jumping off buildings, thinking I might like to fly
I’ve been taking my rescues for granted thinking I might not die

I’ve been running in circles, I’ve been playing the game
I’ve been living off yesterday so long,
today starts to feel like a dream
And I’m feeling the weight of who I have become
Bend my back like an old man, O, I feel like an old man
I am feeling the weight of who I have become
And I’ll keep living bent until you
