Take It On The Run

REO Speedwagon


Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
They say you got a boy friend
You’re out late every weekend
They’re talkin’ about you and it’s bringin’ me down

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I’m telling you, babe
That I don’t think it’s true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

Chorus
   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 thinking up your white lies
You’re putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you’re coming home but you won’t say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again

Repeat Chorus    2x

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
