Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now, I may be an old-fashioned country girl
But when it comes to lovin' you
Honey, I know what to do
Now, I put all my pride aside, I won't be denied
I'm satisfied, I'm all you'll ever need
Now that you've had your fun, you wanna run
But looky here, daddy, that's not where I'm comin' from
[Chorus]
You can't hit and run, I've got to be number one
Gotta make up your mind 'cause you'll never find love so divine
You can't hit and run, I've got to be number one
Gotta make up your mind 'cause you'll never find love so divine
[Verse 2]
You may have been known as a lady's man
But you have to understand, I want a one-woman man
No second best will ever do between me and you
Because there's only room in my world just for two
So you can throw away your little black book
If you're gonna stay, then you gotta stay
I was brought up that way
[Chorus]
You can't hit and run, I've got to be number one
Gotta make up your mind 'cause you'll never find love so divine
You can't hit and run, I've got to be number one
Gotta make up your mind 'cause you'll never find love so divine
[Verse 3]
Now that you've had the fun, you wanna run
But looky here, daddy, that's not where I'm comin' from
[Chorus]
You can't hit and run, I've got to be number one (I've got to be number one)
Gotta make up your mind 'cause you'll never find love so divine
You can't hit and run, I've got to be number one (Hit and run, gotta be number one)
If you're gonna stay, then you gotta stay
I was brought up that way
You can't hit and run, I've got to be number one (I've got to be number one)
Gotta make up your mind 'cause you'll never find love so divine
You can't hit and run, I've got to be number one (I've got to be number one)
If you're gonna stay, then you gotta stay
I was brought up that way
[Bridge]
You can't hit and run
Hit and run
Satisfied, I get satisfied (Hit and run)
I'm a long desire, I long desire (Hit and run)
If you're gonna stay, yeah, oh, honey, you gotta stay (Hit and run)
I'm a long desire
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Refrain]
Hit and run, gotta be number one (No 'nother lady's man)
Hit and run, gotta be number one (No 'nother lady's man)
Hit and run, gotta be number one (No 'nother lady's man)
Hit and run, gotta be number one
[Outro]
Well, between me and you
That's just a matter between me and you
I want a one, one, one, one-woman man
Can you hear me? (Hit and run)
Good God, somebody
Can you hear me?
Yeah, yeah, you gotta stay (Hit and run)
You gotta stay
'Cause, see, I was brought up that way (Hit and run)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Hit and run)
I may be, I may be old-fashioned
And a country girl
But when it comes to lovin' you
When it comes to love
[Outro]
Hit and run, gotta be number one
Hit and run, gotta be number one
Hit and run, gotta be number one (I know what to do)
Hit and run, gotta be number one (I know what to do)
Hit and run, gotta be number one (I put all my pride aside)
Hit and run, gotta be number one (I won't deny)
Hit and run, gotta be number one (You see, I can satisfy)
Hit and run, gotta be number one (I can satisfy)
Hit and run, gotta be number one
