[Verse 1]
He was of medium height
Medium build
Terrible eyes
Dressed to kill
Dressed to kill
And a smile that unbuttoned my will

[Chorus]
Hit and run love
Hit and run love, hit and run love

[Verse 2]
I was alone
And I was afraid
My fences were down
When contact was made
When contact was made
No formal charges were laid

[Bridge]
Then I heard the siren
And saw the flashing light
The white-coated medic
And the life-support device
[Verse 3]
In the room where I awoke
A long shadow fell
He came back for my soul
I was very unwell
Had to save what was left of myself

[Verse 4]
Now the good doctor smiles
But I'm coming apart
And he scratches his head
And studies my chart
"She's alive but she's dead"
And the ivy grows around my heart

[Chorus]
Hit and run love
Hit and run love, hit and run love
