[Verse 1]
Six o'clock in the morning, you're the last to hear the warning
You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world
You been falling off the sidewalk, your lips move but you can't talk
Tryin' to throw your arms around the world
[Chorus]
Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you; be still
Gonna run to you, run to you, woman, I will
[Verse 2]
Sunrise like a nose-bleed, your head hurts and you can't breathe
You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world
How far are you gonna go before you lose your way back home
You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world
[Chorus]
Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you; be still
Gonna run to you, run to you, woman, I will
[Verse 3]
Yeah I dreamed that I saw Dali with a supermarket trolley
He was tryin' to throw his arms around a girl
He took an open top beetle through the eye of a needle
He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world
[Chorus]
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman, I will
[Verse 4]
Nothing much to say, I guess; just the same as all the rest
Been tryin' to throw your arms round the world
And a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world
[Chorus]
Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman be still
Woman be still, woman be still, woman I will
Six o'clock in the morning, you're the last to hear the warning
You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world
You been falling off the sidewalk, your lips move but you can't talk
Tryin' to throw your arms around the world
[Chorus]
Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you; be still
Gonna run to you, run to you, woman, I will
[Verse 2]
Sunrise like a nose-bleed, your head hurts and you can't breathe
You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world
How far are you gonna go before you lose your way back home
You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world
[Chorus]
Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you; be still
Gonna run to you, run to you, woman, I will
[Verse 3]
Yeah I dreamed that I saw Dali with a supermarket trolley
He was tryin' to throw his arms around a girl
He took an open top beetle through the eye of a needle
He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world
[Chorus]
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman, I will
[Verse 4]
Nothing much to say, I guess; just the same as all the rest
Been tryin' to throw your arms round the world
And a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world
[Chorus]
Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman be still
Woman be still, woman be still, woman I will
