When I was a child Running away from nothing Heading for home Now hounds of love are hunting I’ve always been a coward And 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 From nothing real I just can’t deal with this But 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… 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
