Love REO, their music and of course, THE LYRICS ^_^
Song Facts: This song was Gary Richrath's answer to fellow band co-leader Kevin Cronin's "Keep on Loving You" (#1 in 1981) - both were going through marital difficulties at the time. Says Richrath: "When I wrote that, I woke up one night, half asleep, and sat down in front of the TV. There was a soap opera on it. I was just sitting there, strumming a guitar, thinking, 'God, these guys' relationships are worse than mine.' I just sat there and sang vocals about the effects of gossip and relationships breaking up, which was what was on the tube and all that was similar to what was going on in my life."
Originally, this was called "Don't Let Me Down," with lyrics geared more toward men than the final result. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for above 2)
Lyrics:
Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around.
They say you got a boyfriend, you're out late every weekend,
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down
But I know the neighborhood
And 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
You're puttin' 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.
------
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
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 been messin' around
