You can laugh all you want but you’re not fooling me
You can talk all you like but it won’t set you free
You can hide behind that beautiful smile all day
You can listen to everything they throw your way
Oh, you can talk till you’re blue in the face, my dear

Run, baby, run, baby run
Faster than the light from the Sun, baby run
Faster than the bullet from a gun yeah baby run
But you can’t run away from you
There’s no escaping you

You’re just smiling along to cover your tears
Don’t you think now’s the time to face your fears?
One of these days it’s gonna hit you in the face, my dear
All your troubles and demons won’t just disappear
Oh, you can lie till you’re blue in the face, my dear

Run, baby, run, baby run
Faster than the light from the Sun, baby run
Faster than the bullet from a gun, yeah, baby run
But you can’t run away from you
There’s no escaping you
There's no escaping you

You can laugh all you want but you’re not fooling me
You can talk all you like but it won’t set you free
Oh, I’m just trying to talk some sense into you, babe
So won’t you listen before you

Run, baby, run, baby run
Faster than the light from the Sun baby run
Faster than the bullet from a gun, yeah, baby run
But you can’t run away from you
Run away from you
Run away from you
There’s no escaping you
