I been trying hard to tell you
Still, I guess it’s too late now
Reckon all your friends have told you
Really wish that I’d known how
Well remember when i told you
If you ever let me down
Then this player would be playing
In another game in town, wo-oh
This player’s playing in another game in town.

Now the other take us
Just like other was to me
If you think I’m gonna join ’em
Hold your breath and wait and see
Oh, if you can spare a moment
Maybe start to wonder why
Then there’d be no time for crying
There’d be no time left to cry, wo-oh
The time for crying, there’d be no time left to cry

Two-timer, three-timer, insider, outsider,
Why do you do it all?
Fast runner, slow runner, home runner, lone runner,
Don’t look back it might disturb you
Don’t let a thing disturb you
Oh I bet it gets so lonely
When your friends are getting down
And this player is a-palying in another game in town, wo-oh
This player’s playing in another game in town

Two-timer, three-timer, insider, outsider,
Why do you do it all?
Fast runner, slow runner, home runner, lone runner,
Don’t look back it might disturb you
Fast runner, slow runner, home runner, lone runner,
Why do you do it all?
Two-timer, three-timer, insider, outsider,
Don’t look back it might disturb you
Don’t let a thing disturb you

Two-timer, three-timer, insider, outsider,
Why do you do it all?…
