[Verse]
When I was a child
Running away from nothing
Heading for home

[Pre-Chorus]
Now hounds of love are hunting
I've always been a coward
And I don't know what's good for me
Come on

[Chorus]
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, keep running
Run from the hounds of love
They need love, love, love, love, love, yeah

[Bridge]
Do you know what I really need?
I know what I really need
But I don't know what's good for me
I don't know what's good for me
Oh, I need love

[Pre-Chorus]
Now hounds of love are hunting
I've always been a coward
And I don't know what's good for me
I never know what's good for me
Come on

[Chorus]
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
So run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run, run, honey
Run, run, run, run

[Outro]
Run, run, run, run, keep running
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run, run, run from the hounds of love
