Run For Your Life
Beatles · Rubber soul
Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
or I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
Well I know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
trying just to make you toe the line
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
of I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na

Run For Your Life
Released on the 1965 album Rubber Soul, "Run For Your Life" stands as a pivotal track in The Beatles' evolution toward a more mature, folk-rock sound. Recorded during a period of intense creative experimentation, the song features a distinctive acoustic guitar arrangement and a driving rhythm that departed from their earlier pop structures. Its lyrical themes of anxiety and the pressure of fame resonated deeply with listeners, reflecting the band's growing introspection. As a key component of the Rubber Soul catalogue, the recording helped define the group's transition into a serious musical act, influencing countless artists who followed in the British Invasion era.
