Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Take It on the Run Lyrics

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around

They say you got a boyfriend
You're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you, and it's bringin' me down

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line

But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

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

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
But I can feel it coming, if you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again

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

(Repeat)

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
