Run For Your Life

in AlbumRubber Soul

Well I'd rather see you dead little girl

Than to be with another man

You'd better keep your head little girl

Or I won't know where I am

You'd better run for your life if you can little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man

That's the end ah little girl

Well you know that I'm a wicked guy

And I was born with a jealous mind

And I can't spend my whole life tryin'

Just to make you toe the line

You'd better run for your life if you can little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man

That's the end ah little girl

Let this be a sermon

I mean everything I said

Baby I'm determined

And I'd rather see you dead

You'd better run for your life if you can little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

I catch you with another man

That's the end ah little girl

I'd rather see you dead little girl

Than to be with another man

You'd better keep your head little girl

Or you won't know where I am

You'd better run for your life if you can little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man

That's the end ah little girl

Na na na...
