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
