Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
[Verse 2]
They say you got a boyfriend
You’re out late every weekend
They’re talkin’ about you and it’s bringin’ me down
[Verse 3]
But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
[PreChorus]
But I’m telling you, babe
That I don’t think it’s true, babe
And even if it is, keep this in mind
[Chorus]
You take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun
So you take it on the run
[Verse 4]
You’re thinking up your white lies
You’re putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you’re coming home but you won’t say when
[PreChorus]
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight, keep running
And you need never look back again
[Chorus]
You take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun
So you take it on the run
[Chorus]
You take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun
So you take it on the run
[Chorus]
You take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun
So you take it on the run
[Outro]
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
