Electric Light Orchestra
On the Run
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Whatever I do, wherever I go
The same afterglow is keepin' me low
(D-d-d-don't wanna lose it)
But don't wanna stay here too long

[Verse 2]
They see you go by, I tell you no lie
You're up in the sky, make everyone cry
(D-d-d-don't wanna lose it)
But don't wanna stay around here

[Chorus]
I'm on the run again
I'm on the run again
But it's like what they say
When it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again

[Verse 3]
I hear them talkin' and they go on and on
They think that nothing is wrong
And so they just carry on about you
(D-d-d-don't wanna lose it)
But I gotta move out of here
[Verse 4]
I see them waiting there for most of the day
I know you asked them to stay
But they just won't go away
(D-d-d-don't wanna lose it)
But I gotta do it again

[Chorus]
I'm on the run again
I'm on the run again
But it's like what they say
When it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 5]
I know it ain't real, but when you are near
You're saying the things that I wanna hear
(D-d-d-don't wanna lose it)
But I gotta do it again

[Chorus]
I'm on the run again
I'm on the run again
But it's like what they say
When it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again
[Chorus]
I'm on the run again
I'm on the run again
But it's like what they say
When it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again

[Instrumental Segue]

[Outro]
Run around, gotta go, gotta run around
Run around, gotta go, gotta run
Run around, gotta go, gotta run around
Run around, gotta go, gotta run
Woman, I gotta move around
Woman, I gotta get away
Woman, I gotta move around

[Instrumental Outro]
