Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who

Heard it from another you've been messing around

They say you've got a boyfriend, you're out late every weekend

They're talking about you and it's bringing me down



Well I know that neighbourhood

The talk is cheap but when the story is good

And the tales grow taller on down the line

But I'm telling you, babe, that I don't think it's true, babe

And even if it is keep this in mind



You take it on the run, baby

If that's the way you want it, baby

Then I don't want you around

I don't believe it, not for a minute

You're under the gun so you take it on the run



You're thinking of your white lies

You're putting on your bedroom eyes

You say you're coming home but you won't say when

But I can feel it coming

If you leave tonight, keep running

And you need never look back again



You take it on the run, baby

If that's the way you want it, baby

Then I don't want you around

I don't believe it, not for a minute

You're under the gun so you take it on the run



Take it on the run, baby

If that's the way you want it, baby

Then I don't want you around

I don't believe it, not for a minute

You're under the gun so you take it on the run



Take it on the run, baby

If that's the way you want it, baby

Then I don't want you around

I don't believe it, not for a minute

You're under the gun so you take it on the run
