I thought I had been every place a man could be, 'Till I met a lady who brought me to my knees. The day I stop loving is the day that I die, But now I'm running from her game 'cause the lady is a lie. I've got a choice Run away or be torn to shreds. I've got a life and I want to live Don't want to be dead. I met her down in the underground, Got a taste of the low life, just creepin' around. I got what I came for and more, that's for sure, 'Cause now I'm running from her game, can't take any more. I've got a choice Run away or be torn to shreds. I've got a life and I want to live Don't want to be dead. When I first met you, baby, I knew you could come on strong. But when you held a knife to me, You know, that just ain't too friendly. I've heard of liberated, But that's so understated. I should have listened to them When they told me you were crazy And you said I was a runaway.
