[Intro]

[Verse 1]

It's time to run

They'll string me up for all that I've done

I'm going soon

I'm gonna leave tonight by the light of the moon

I did it all for you

Well, I hope you know the lengths I've gone to

What's a man to say?

They'll be looking for me, should be on my way

[Chorus 1]

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everybody else in the world to know

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everyone to know you're the girl for me

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everybody else in the world to know

(Ooh, oh) I ain't ever gonna let 'em take my life from me

[Verse 2]

I've no regrets

I will not ask for your forgiveness

Lower your defense

Run away with me, it'll all make sense

I did it all for you

Don't spurn me after all I've gone through

No time to rest

Gonna find me a life, baby, way out west

[Chorus 2]

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everybody else in the world to know

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everyone to know you're the girl for me

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everybody else in the world to know it

(Ooh, oh) But I ain't ever...

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

I will run, but I know that I'm beat

I decided my fate with my deeds

I will run, but I know that I'm beat

I decided my fate with my deeds

[Verse 3]

It's time to run

Well, I hope you understand what I've done

Run away for you

I'm gonna count the days till you make it through

I did it all for you

Well, I hope you live the life you want to

My time is spent

Baby, please don't tell 'em just where I went

[Chorus 1]

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everybody else in the world to know

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everyone to know you're the girl for me

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everybody else in the world to know

(Ooh, oh) But I ain't ever gonna let 'em take my life from me

[Chorus 2]

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everybody else in the world to know

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everyone to know you're the girl for me

(Ooh, oh) I wanted everybody else in the world to know

(Ooh, oh) But I ain't ever...
