Lyrics

I had a hard run,

Running from your window.

I was all night running, running,

I wonder if you care?

I had a run-in,

Run around and run down.

Run around a corner,

Run smack into a tree.


I had to move,

Really had to move.

That's why if you please,

I am on my bended knees.

Bertha don't you come around here anymore.


Dressed myself in green,

I went down to the sea.

Try to see what's going down,

Try to read between the lines.

Had a feeling I was falling, falling,

Turned around to see.

Heard a voice calling, calling,

You was runnin’ back to me, back to me.


I had to move,

Really had to move.

That's why if you please,

I am on my bended knees.

Bertha don't you come around here anymore.


Ran into a rainstorm,

Ducked into a bar door.

It was all night pouring, pouring rain,

But not a drop on me.

Test me, test me,

Why don't you arrest me?

Throw me in the jail house,

Until the sun goes down, til’ it goes down.


I had to move,

Really had to move.

That's why if you please,

I am on my bended knees.

Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
