When I was a child
Running away from the fear
Heading for home

Now the hounds of love are hunting
I've always been a coward
I don't know what's good for me

Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
They need love

I found a fox, caught by dogs
He let me take him in my hands
His little heart, it beats so fast
And I'm ashamed of running away

Maybe unreal
Just can't deal with this
I'm still afraid to be this

Among your hounds of love
To feel your arms surrounding me
I've always been a coward
I never know what's good for me

Oh, here I go!
Don't let me go
Hold me down
It's coming for me through the trees
Help me, darling
Help me, please

Take my shoes off
And I'll throw them in the lake
And I'll be two steps on the water

I don't know what's good for me
I don't know what's good for me
Do you know what I really need?
I know what I really need?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
They need love
