Early in the mornin' 'round 3 a.m.

Lyin' with a girl named Kim

With a glass of gin, sippin' on it

'Bout to hit the skins, now I'm all in

Telephone ring, was a girl named Jane

>From around the way

How could I forget, down in my car

"Is it time to quit," runnin' through my head

I ain't tryin' to run around no more

Sick and tired of losin' track of score

Every time I turn around

The same old game another day

Thinkin' I just wanna settle down

Tired of livin' foul, it's over now

Said to myself

"There's got to be another way"

Later in the day, next day

This was a girl named Trace

Drinkin' ???, spreadin' her legs

Drinkin' ???, callin' my name

Telephone rings she said that

It was a friend on the other end

Sound masculine, couldn't believe

How could I pretend, didn't hurt me

Finally I can see

There's another life for me

I don't wanna live this way

I feel it's time I made a change

I believe I can be (Ho...ho...ho...)

A better man and I don't need

Every woman in the world

I gotta find myself a girl

I ain't tryin' to run around no more

Sick and tired of losin' track of score

Every time I turn around

The same old game another day

Thinkin' I just wanna settle down (Mmm, hmm)

Tired of livin' foul, it's over now

Said to myself

"There's got to be another way" (Gotta be another way)

I ain't tryin' to run around no more

Sick and tired of losin' track of score (Mmm, I really believe)

Every time I turn around

The same old game another day

Thinkin' I just wanna settle down (The same old game)

Tired of livin' foul, it's over now (Same old game)

Said to myself

"There's got to be another way" (I believe there's got to be another way

for me)

Got to be another way

Got to be another way, yeah...yeah...yeah...uh-huh, yeah

Mmm, hmm, oh, yeah

There's got to be another way

Another way, another way

I ain't tryin' to run around no more (Oh)

Sick and tired of losin' track of score

Every time I turn around (Every time I turn around)

The same old game another day (I see the same old thing)

Thinkin' I just wanna settle down

Tired of livin' foul, it's over now (People playin' the same old game)

Said to myself (And I don't need it anymore)

"There's got to be another way" (I need to find another way)

I ain't tryin' to run around no more (Another way)

Sick and tired of losin' track of score (Another way)

Every time I turn around (Another way)

The same old game another day (No other way)

Thinkin' I just wanna settle down (No other way)

Tired of livin' foul, it's over now (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Said to myself

"There's got to be another way"
