Run For Your Life

Release date: 03 December 1965

I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
Than to be with another man.
You'd better keep your head, little girl,
Or I won't know where I am.

You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end ah, little girl.

Well you know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind.
And I can't spend my whole life
Tryin' just to make you toe the line.

You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end ah, little girl.

Let this be a sermon,
I mean ev'rything I said.
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead.

You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end ah, little girl.

I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
Than to be with another man.
You'd better keep your head, little girl,
Or you won't know where I am.

You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl,
Catch you with another man,
That's the end ah, little girl.
No, no, no.
