TAKE IT ON THE RUN REO SPEEDWAGON -------------------------------------------------------------------- Heard it from a friend, who Heard it from a friend, who Heard it from another you've been messin' around. They say you've got a boyfriend, You're out late every weekend, They're talkin' about you and it's bringing me down. But I know the neighborhood, And talk is cheap when the story is good, And the tales grow taller on dawn the Iine. But I'm tellin' you, babe, That I don't think it's true, babe, And, even if it is, keep this in mind: You take it on the run, baby, If that's the way you want it, baby, Then I don't want you around. I don't believe it, not for a minute, You're under the gun, so you take it on the run. You're thinkin' up your white lies, You're puttin' on your bedroom eyes, You say you're comin' home, but you won't say when. But I can feel it comin' - if you leave tonight keep runnin And you need never look back again. You take it on the run, haby, . . . You take it on the run, baby, . . . You take it on the run, baby, . . .
