[Verse 1]

She's off to party with the diamond dogs

From the wrong side of the tracks

Her window's open anytime she's home

But now it's locked up at last

She was bound to break free from the start

Girl got that rebel heart

She's out to rumble, gonna get it on

There ain't no stopping her now


[Chorus]

Lucy

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Lucy, Lucy


[Interlude]

Yeah, yeah


[Verse 2]

She's off to sell herself in the seedy bar

The John's are loaded for love

She gon' get beaten playin' with the dark

Innocence under attack

She was bound to be stabbed in the back

All for some fun in the sack

Now she's alone and got no one to call

Oh, no, she ain't turnin' back


[Chorus]

Lucy

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Lucy, Lucy


[Post-Chorus]

Lucy


[Bridge]

Oh, Lucy, alright

Yeah, yeah

Run away


[Chorus]

Lucy

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay, run away

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Lucy, Lucy (Lucy, yeah)

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Run away, run away-ay-ay-ay

Lucy, Lucy
