Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't start with me, woman, don't you tell me no lies
Don't start with me, lady, don't you bat your pretty eyes
If you really cared, woman, I'm here to let you know
If you really care, woman, tell that man he got to go
[PreChorus]
She said, "Oh no, please let him go"
I said, "Oh no, one of us got to go"
[Chorus]
Better run, better run and hide
Better learn to pray, 'cause, oh Lord, I'm 'bout to kill that man
Better run, better run and hide
Better call your god 'cause, oh Lord, I'm 'bout to kill that man
[Verse 2]
Don't start with me, woman, better tell me where you been
I don't wear that cheap ass smell so I know you been with him
I ain't gonna play nice, no, I don't care about the law
I got this Colt .45 ACP and enough lead to stop this all
[PreChorus]
She said, "Oh no, please let him go"
I said, "No no, one of us got to go"
[Bridge]
Better run, better run and hide
Better learn to pray 'cause, oh Lord, I'm 'bout to kill that man
Better run, better run and hide
Better call your god 'cause, oh Lord, I'm 'bout to kill that man
[Bridge]
Oh no, please let him go
I said, "Oh no, one of us got to go"
She said, "Oh no, please let him go"
I said, "No no, one of us got to go"
[Chorus]
Better run, better run and hide
Better learn to pray, 'cause, oh Lord, I'm 'bout to kill that man
Better run, better run and hide
Better call your god 'cause, oh Lord, I'm 'bout to kill that man
[Chorus]
Better run, better run and hide
Better learn to pray, 'cause, oh Lord, I'm 'bout to kill that man
Better run, better run and hide
Better call your god 'cause, oh Lord, I'm 'bout to kill that man
Written by: Gary Clark Jr., Jacob Sciba, Sonny Boy Williamson II
