I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running
I wonder if you care
I had a run-in
Run around and run down
Run around a corner
Lord, I run smack into a tree
I had to move
Really had to move
Thats why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, dont you come around here anymore
Dressed myself in green
I went down to the sea
Try to see whats going down
Lord, and read between the lines
Had a feeling I was falling, falling, falling
I turned around to see
Heard a voice calling
You was comin after me
Back to me
I had to move
Really had to move
Thats why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, dont you come around here anymore
I had to move
Really had to move
Thats why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, dont you come around here anymore
Ran into a rainstorm
I ducked into a bar door
It was all night pouring, pouring, pouring
But not a drop on me
Test me, test me
Why dont you arrest me?
Throw me in the jail house
Until the sun goes down
Til it go down, til it go down
I had to move
Really had to move
Thats why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, dont you come around here anymore
I had to move
Really had to move
Thats why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, dont you come around here anymore
I had to move
Really had to move
Thats why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, dont you come around here anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Anymore
