Don't Run Me Down Lyrics

Foghat Don't Run Me Down

Songwriters: Peverett, David;

I had a woman, all she did was run me down
She changed our love to jealousy and my smile into a frown
Now I've been hurt so many times but I guess I'll never learn
Now I'm standin' in confusion, I don't know which way to turn

'Cause I still love that woman, please don't ask me why
We can make it if we try

She passed by in a limousine and slowly waved her hand
A mink around her shoulders and her arms around a man
Now I was so amazed, I couldn't find a thing to say
Just stood awhile and tried to smile, but she looked the other way

Cruisin' through the city, she almost knocked me down
I jump back when I hear that sound

Don't run me down, don't run me down, don't run me down
My nerves are shakin' and my heart is breakin', don't run me down

Here stands a troubled man who's tired of bein' abused
I'm tired of walkin' by myself, bewildered and confused
I've got to leave you baby, but I just can't let you go
Now I'm inclined to change my mind when tears begin to flow

Run me down, turn me around, I say, no, but you do it anyway
You tell me lies, but I've got wise, what can I say? What can I say?

Don't run me down, don't run me down, don't run me down
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down

Don't run me down, don't run me down, don't run me down
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down

Don't run me down
Don't run me down
Don't run me down
...
