Heard it from a friend who

 Heard it from a friend who

 Heard it from another you been messin' around

 They say you got a boy friend

 You're out late every weekend

 They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down

 But I know the neighborhood

 And talk is cheap when the story is good

 And the tales grow taller on down the line

 But I'm telling you, babe

 That I don't think it's true, babe

 And even if it is keep this in mind

 

 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

 

 You're thinking up your white lies

 You're putting on your bedroom eyes

 You say you're coming home but you won't say when

 But I can feel it coming

 If you leave tonight keep running

 And you need never look back again

 

 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

 

 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'll 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

 

 Heard it from a friend who

 Heard it from a friend who

 Heard it from another you been messin' around
