Run

Eric Clapton · August [1986]

Love on my mind, I used to be

Living it up, fancy free,

Then one night it came to an end;

I met that girl and the trouble began.



[Chorus:]

Something inside of me keeps on telling me to run.

Whatcha gonna do to me?

Something inside of me keeps on telling me to run.

Whatcha gonna do to me?



I was hooked with just one look,

Easy prey, child's play.

I knew this girl was no one night stand;

Felt just like putty in her hands.



[Chorus]



Got no answers, got no cure,

But one thing I know for sure:

This is the girl, she's the one.

She makes it so hard for me to run.



[Chorus]



People tell me,

You might as well face it, she's covered all the bases.

You might as well face it, she's covered all the bases.



[Chorus 2x]
