REO Speedwagon
Take It on the Run
[Verse 1]
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another
You been messin' around

[Verse 2]
They say you got a boyfriend
You're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you
And it's bringin' me down

[Verse 3]
But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

[​Chorus]
You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun
So you take it on the run
[Verse 3]
You're thinking up your white lies
You're puttin' on your bedroom eyes
You say you're coming home
But you won't say when

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can feel it comin'
If you leave tonight keep runnin'
And you need never look back again

[Chorus]
You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun
So you take it on the run

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun
So you take it on the run
Take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun
So you take it on the run
[Verse 1 / Outro]
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another
You been messin' around
