I had a hard run

Running from your window

I was all night running, running, running

I wonder if you care?

I had a run-in

Run around and run down

Run around a corner

Run smack into a tree



I had to move

Really had to move

That's why if you please

I am on my bended knees

Bertha don't you come around here anymore



Dressed myself in green

I went down to the sea

Try to see what's going down

Maybe read between the lines

Had a feeling I was falling, falling, falling



Turned around to see

Heard a voice calling, calling, calling

You was comin after me

Back to me



I had to move

Really had to move

That's why if you please

I am on my bended knees

Bertha don't you come around here anymore





Ran into a rainstorm

Ducked into a bar door

It was all night pouring, pouring rain

But not a drop on me



Test me, test me

Why don't you arrest me?

Throw me in the jail house

Until the sun goes down

Till it go down



I had to move

Really had to move

That's why if you please

I am on my bended knees

Bertha don't you come around here anymore
