Intro

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another, you been messin' around

Chorus

They say you got a boyfriend
You're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down

Verse

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 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

Chorus

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

Verse

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, baby

Chorus

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

Instrumental

Chorus

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
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

Outro

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another, you been messin' around

Silence
