About Run Baby Run

"Run Baby Run" is a song by American alternative rock band Garbage from their fourth studio album, Bleed Like Me (2005). The song was released in Europe and Australia as the album's fourth and final single. It was released around the same time the United Kingdom received a parallel release for "Sex Is Not The Enemy" and "Bleed Like Me" was released in the United States. Following on from the unexpectedly high chart positions for both the previous single "Why Do You Love Me" and the parent album Bleed Like Me, "Run Baby Run" failed to replicate their success. "Run Baby Run" was to be the third single release from Bleed Like Me in the United Kingdom, scheduled to be released at the same time as the band's UK tour. After the tour was cancelled, Garbage went on a self-imposed hiatus and the single release was postponed and quietly cancelled. A US single release was also considered.

Love can be so strange
Don't it amaze you?
Every time you give yourself away
It comes back to haunt you

Love's an elusive charm and it can be painful
To understand this crazy world
But you're not gonna crack
No you're never gonna crack

Run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
To late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run

Life can be so cruel
Don't it astound you?
So when nothing seems too certain or safe
Let it burn through you

You can keep it pure on the inside
And you know what you believe to be right
So you're not gonna crack
No you're never gonna crack

Run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
To late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run

Find out who you are before you regret it
'Cause life is so short there's no time to waste it

So run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
To late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run
