You’ve got me on the road
Running to and from
Looking high and low
I don’t know if I’m coming or going
Since I fell for you

I run up above the town
Chasing up and down
Tagging you around
I don’t know if I’m coming or going
Since I fell for you

You’re so dizzy
Keeping up with all your love affair
I’m so dizzy
I’ve got trouble
I’m seein’ in double

Just when I think you’re through
Chasing as you do
You find someone new
I don’t know if I’m coming or going
Since I fell for you

(bridge)

When I found you
I found heaven right before my door
Since I lost you
I’ve got trouble
I’m seein’ in double

Why did you let me fly
Way up to the sky
Just to say good-bye
I don’t know if I’m coming or going
Since I fell for you

    • Dear Ardilaun

      I thank you for your help on my poor transliterations in the four lyrics you sent me. I actually have one doubt. In the verse:
      I run about the town
      Chasing up and down
      Having you around
      are you sure “having” is the right word? I hear “tagging”, and it makes more sense.

      O)n the other hand, please inform your name/city/country for me to mention in my site as an appreciation

      All the best,
      Paulo

      • Hi there

        You are quite right – it’s definitely tagging… nice interpretation of a very standard tune from Lady. She makes the most of this one
