You Can Run (But You Can’t Hide) Lyrics By Jerry Butler

    sit down awhile
    my mother said one day
    and this is what she had to say

    what are you gonna do child
    with those tears in your eyes
    run no use trying to tell yourself
    hide that you don’t love the girl

    take it for what it’s worth
    you can’t hide
    go to the end of the earth
    you can’t hide
    you can run run run but
    oh you can’t hide from love

    what are you gonna say child
    when your heartaches won’t go
    run you can’t tell love to go
    hide and come back another day

    try to leave it behind
    you can’t hide
    well she’s still on your mind
    you can’t hide
    run run run but you
    can’t hide from love

    love is too wide
    you can’t get around it
    it’s too high
    you can’t get over it
    oh no you can’t get over it

    so what are you
    gonna do now child
    you still love her so
    run what were you
    thinking of little boy hide
    when you let the little girl go

    you’re gonna find out one day
    you can’t hide
    there is no hiding place
    you can’t hide
    run run run but you
    can’t hide from love

    oh run run run run
    but you can’t hide
    run run run
    love will be by your side
    run run run
    ’cause wherever you go
    run run run
    she will be there i know
