[Verse 1]
All work and no play
Makes Dick a dull dull boy, career gets in the way
Square jaw, oooh, such a handsome face
Why do you have to save the human race?
Life of crime, no it never pays
Clean up the streets and make your secret get-away

[Pre-Chorus]
All alone
In your room with your radio
No one to hold you
Had to let her go

[Chorus]
You're a man with a gun in your hand
Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore
If you don't take time, it's not nice
So here's my advice
Take your love on the run (On the run)
Oh, God! Let me be the one (Be the one)
And I don't mean with a gun

[Verse 2]
All bucks and no brains
Bullies and thugs
They take up all your time in vain
Can't let go
Someone cries and you hear the call
Who's going to catch you?
Don't good guys ever fall?

[Chorus]
You're a man with a gun in your hand
Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore
If you don't take time, it's not nice
So here's my advice
Take your love on the run (On the run)
Oh, God! Let me be the one (Be the one)
And I don't mean with a gun

[Interlude]
Calling Dick Tracy
Calling Dick Tracy
Do you read me Tracy?
Get ? ? n to
Seventh Street, Roger
Nobody knows who they are
And you better get over here right away
Can you get down here Tracy?
You better get here fast or
They're gonna find out we're together

[Pre-Chorus]
All alone
In your room with your radio
No one to hold you
I would never let you go

[Chorus]
You're a man with a gun in your hand
Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore
If you don't take time, it's not nice
So here's my advice
Take your love on the run (On the run)
Oh God, let me be the one (Be the one)
'Cause I can show you some fun (Some fun)
And I don't mean with a gun, no

[Chorus]
(You are a man)
Oh, with a gun in your hand
Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore
If you don't make time, it's not nice
So here's my advice
Take your love on the run (On the run)
Oh God, let me be the one (Be the one)
And I don't mean with a gun
Take it out of your hand
Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore
If you don't make time, it's not nice
So here's my advice

[Outro]
Take your love on the run (On the run)
Oh God, let me be the one (Be the one)
To show you some fun
Gimme that gun
