- "Get your tambourines out!"
- "Soft guitar."
IF I HAVE TO RUN, I'M NOT RUNNIN' OUT ON YOU.
IF I HAVE TO SHAKE A LITTLE SAND OUT OF MY SHOES.
RUNNIN' FROM THE LAW OR THEY'LL PUT ME INSIDE.
OH, BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO HIDE?
OH, OH, OH, BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO HIDE?
WELL, I'VE BEEN ON THE RUN SINCE THE GOOD LORD KNOWS WHEN.
AND THE DAY I DIE, I'LL STILL BE RUNNIN' THEN.
RUNNIN' FROM THE DAYS WHEN I WOULD LAY ME DOWN AND CRY.
OH, BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO HIDE, OH?
BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO HIDE?
WILL I LOVE YOU TOMORROW?
(Yes, I will) MY LOVE,
(Yes, I will) MY LOVE.
WILL I BEG, STEAL OR BORROW?
YES, I WILL, (my love)
OH, YES, I WILL. (my love)
SPEND A LITTLE TIME,
HAPPY TO BE BY YOUR SIDE.
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO HIDE?
BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO HIDE?
IF I HAVE TO RUN, (if I have to run)
I'M NOT RUNNIN' OUT ON YOU. (runnin' out on you)
IF I HAVE TO SHAKE A LITTLE SAND OUT OF MY SHOES. (sand in my shoes)
RUNNIN' FROM THE LAW OR THEY WILL PUT ME INSIDE.
BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO HIDE?
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO HIDE?
BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME?
BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME?
BABY, WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO HIDE?
AAAAHHH!
