RUN BETTER RUN

Walking down the streets at night

Windowpanes and grey moonlight

Shadows fall around and inside me

I see your eyes on every parked car

I see you standing in every doorway

You're not around but you're plain to see

I hear you're voice and you're telling me

You better run, better run 'cause I'm right behind

Better run, better run 'fore I change my mind

You're gonna run, gonna run 'til the end of time

You're gonna run

You never should've left without saying goodbye

I could have helped you if only you'd've let me try

I'll never rest 'til you let go of me

I see your face in every mirror

I see you walking up and down the street

I know it's you and you're following me

I know it's you and you're telling me

You better run, better run 'cause I'm right behind

Better run, better run 'fore I change my mind

You're gonna run, gonna run 'til the end of time

You're gonna run

TAKE IT EASY

You don't wanna be seen with a guy like me

Never wanna be caught hangin' round with me

Well one of us has gotta be the loser you see

So take it easy

You looked kinda good for a little while

I guess your disposition couldn't match your style

I guess I'll never be a number in your circular file

So take it easy

M-A B-A T-A L-A

Can I... would you... be my... aren't I...

Please I... just want... no way... see you

Take it easy

Take it easy, goodbye

GONE FOR GOOD

Daddy's gone and he left his lover

She wasn't too far behind

A block away from where he left her

She's not the wandering kind

I didn't want to be the one

I wasn't even sure I could

But it was only fair that someone tell her

That he was gone for good

She never shed a single tear

I wonder if she cared

It's not as though he changed her life

It wasn't love that they shared

I guess she'll have to find a job

Collecting quarters from the hoods

She's back to where she was when he first met her

Daddy's gone for good

THAT'S WHEN I SAY GOODBYE

I hear the sound of a new desperation

Hear the sound every night

I watch for signs of an old inspiration

I'm hoping one of them is right

It isn't like I didn't get what I asked for

So don't say I didn't try

I'm not the one that said that I didn't want more

I'm not the time you want to buy

The next time you get that feeling

You better keep it all inside

The next time you get that feeling

That's when I say goodbye

Got a lot of other deals you can count on

Don't tell me that I'm wrong

Just remember that if you ever try one

Turn around and I'll be gone

The next time you get that feeling

You better keep it all inside

The next time you get that feeling

That's when I say goodbye

I'D GIVE ALL I GOT

Thought I gave you what you waited for

I found out that you still wanted more

That's when I realized that you were not for me

I'd give all I got to see another lover fall for you, baby

Fun for one is never fun for all

Same time next week wasn't fun at all

That's why you'll never find someone to stay with you

I'd give all I got to see another lover fall for you, baby

Someday you will get what you deserve

Someone's gonna throw back what you've served

That's when you'll know what it's like to be alone

I'd give all I got to see another lover fall for you, baby
