Run For Your Life

Freda Payne


Run for your life
Save yourself
Run for your life
You better behave yourself
Don't misuse your pride
Don't take that ride
Go home where you belong

Here I stand paralyzed in fear
And it's all because I see it coming near
I thought the feeling is all gone
But it's still here, oh baby, it's twice as strong
In my mind, I hear a warning [Run for your life]
You'll be sorry, sorry in the morning [Run for your life]
Better leave him, leave him alone
Remember you got a good man right at home

It's Friday night, he's just got for play
Don't be fooled, girl, by the pretty words he'll say
better save yourself, look before you leap
Promises he'll make he'll never, never keep

Girl, run for your life
Save yourself, oh
Run for your life
You better behave yourself
Don't misuse your pride
Don't take that ride
Go home where you belong

You should've learned from mistakes you've made
[Run for your life]
Remember the games he played, and the price you pay
[Run for your life]
For this one woman is never enough
For just to be used, oh, and kept confused
Think twice and heed this warning [Run for your life]
You'll be sorry, sorry in the morning [Run for your life]
One night of love just ain't worth a strain
And temptation would only bring you pa-ain, yeah

He's on a merry-go-round, going from billiard to post
He spent the cards of heartaches from coast to coast
Yeah, he's on the rip-off street
Went on off to every girl he sees
He'll put stars in your eyes and tell you "love is alive"

Run for your life
Girl, save yourself
You better run for your life
You better behave yourself
Run for your life
You better save yourself
Girl, you got a good man right at home
You better behave yourself
