I never thought that I'd live to see the day
Here I am in love and the feeling is great
And nothing can pursuade me
Than to give a rest
And when I see your love-light I suggest
You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know
It but the moment's arrive
You better run
You better hide
Cause the truth don't matter
The man's gonna get you inside
Met for the first time
Thought you were great
Met for the next
Then I knew right away
Nothing can excite me
The way you can
And when I get that feeling
Tired as I am
You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know but the moment's arrive
You better run
You better hide Cause I 'm not gonna sit around
Waiting my turn
Always been a weakness
Far as I'm concerned
This time I'm gonna take the fall
Don't say that you're not the one
Gonna grab you by the horns
By the horns
Been a lot hearts
Beating well out of time
Nothing odd about that
One of them is mine
The temperature is raising - heat up the floor
And when I see your love-lights starting glow
You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know it but the moment you rise
You better run
You better hide
Cause the truth don't matter where the lie's considered
If you have a tendency to get burned
My reasons for chasing you
Are very easy to decribe
Everything that you have I like
Everything that you have I like
Never thought I get so I couldn't sit down
Never thought I feel so like running around
You and me is cool as you think that you are
But when I see your love light
Enter my heart
You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrive
You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrive
You better run
You better hide
And baby don't you know it but the moment's arrive
Cause the truth don't matter cause the man's gonna get you inside
You better run
You better hide
You better run
You better hide
