When I was a child
Running in the night
Afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the street
And of what was following me

Doo doo doo doo doo doo
The hounds of love are hunting me
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
I feel your arms surrounding me
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
I've always been the coward
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
And I don't know what's good for me

Now here I go
It's coming for me through the trees
Oh help me someone
Help me please

I take my shoes off
Throw them in the lake
And I'll be
Two steps on the water
I found a fox
Caught by dogs
He let me hold him in my hand

His little heart
It beat so fast
And I'm ashamed of running away

And nothing's real
I just can't deal with this
I'm still afraid to be

(Doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Among your hounds of love
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo)
I feel your arms surrounding me
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo)
I've always been some coward
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo)
I don't know what's good for me

Now here I go
It's coming for me through the trees
Oh help me darling
Help me please
Can take my shoes off
Throw them in the lake
And I'll be
Two steps on the water

I don't know what's good for me
Don't know what's good for me
I need love love love love

I don't know what's good for me
Don't know what's good for me
I need love love love

I don't know what's good for me (Doo doo doo doo doo doo)
I don't know what's good for me
I need love love love love

I don't know what's good for me (Doo doo doo doo doo doo)
I don't know what's good for me
I need love love love

Take my shoes off (Doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Throw them in the lake (Hounds of love)
And I'll be
Two steps on the water (Doo doo doo doo doo doo)
(Hounds of love)
