I Better Run
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes i wanna do
Just like the others do
Don't even wanna say my name
And then things will be the same
Sometimes i even run
Because of things that i have done
And then cowardly i run back home
Back home where i belong
I don't really wanna feel that way
But to be blamed is not my style
My reputation's still one of the best
I wanna keep it like my wedding suit
- uh, i better run
- uh, i better run
Sometimes i wanna fly
Soar like an eagle high
I could leave all my lies down there
Eagles fly and they don't care
Good morning to the chief
Give me hell and i believe
Like to kill you but i give my smile
Cause i need you for a while
I don't really wanna be that way
But to be blamed is not my style
My reputation's still one of the best
The clear conscience of a new-born child
- uh, i better run
- uh, i better run
