You're the one who always runs the show And happiness comes easy when its bright and breezy Sudden inspiration to a session man's sensation I gotta to get up early this morning Gotta get my early warning
How will she ever know? You're the one who always runs the show You're the one who always runs the show You're the one who always runs the show Inside, outside, turn around I'm a session man I'm a session man
And, just how you knew I'm falling through a grate But happiness comes easy in your company
I don't need to mince my words Don't need to mince my ...
You're the one who always runs the show You're the one who always runs the show You're the one who always runs the show
That's where the session ends
You're the one who always runs the show
Cos you're the one who always runs the show I'm a session man I'm not broken like the other man They work just the same I'm a session man I'm a session man Inside, outside, turn around I gotta get up early this morning I gotta go and get my early dawn in Inside, outside, turn around Just how you knew I was falling through I knew you were not insane Your chains were much like mine I'm a session man Like the other man Other man Other man Inside, outside, turn around Other man Other man Other man Other man You're the one who always runs the show Other man Other man Inside, outside, turn around Other man Other man Inside, outside, turn around Other man Inside, outside, turn around Other man Other man Other man Inside, outside, turn around Other man Other man Inside, outside, turn around Other man Other man That's where the session ends
