Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who   Heard it from another you've been messin' around   They say you got a boyfriend, you're out there every weekend   I'm talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down      But I know the neighborhood 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, 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      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      Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who   Heard it from another you've been messin' around
