Sit down awhile, my mother said one day And this is what she had to say What are you gonna do, child With those tears in your eyes? No use trying to tell yourself That you don't love the girl Take it for what it's worth Go to the end of the earth You can run, run, run But oh, you can't hide from love What are you gonna say, child When your heartache won't go away? You can't tell love to go And come back another day Try to leave it behind Well, she's still on your mind Run, run, run But you can't hide from love Love is too wide You can't get around it It's too high You can't get over it Oh no, you can't get over it So what are you gonna do now, child? You still love her so What were you thinking of, little boy? When you let the little girl go You're gonna find out one day There is no hiding place Run, run, run But you can't hide from love Run, run, run But you can't hide from love Love will be by your side Run, run, run Cause wherever you go Run, run, run She will be there, I know Run, run, run
