[Verse 1: ZAYN]
I close my blinds so the sun won't come in
Block out the noise but the voices within
I ain't talkin' to my friends
Sometimes they try to fool me
I know what I want
I prefer to just leave me lonely
Think I'm doin' alright
Even though they try to doubt me
Keep yourself up all night
I feel myself, I don't feel it

[Chorus: ZAYN]
You can't hide, you can't hide
You can't hide from yourself
That's all I'm sayin' baby
You can't hide, you can't hide
You can't hide from yourself
That's all I'm sayin' baby
You can't hide, you can't hide
You can't hide from yourself
That's all I'm sayin' baby
You can't hide, you can't hide
You can't hide from yourself
That's all I'm sayin' baby
You can't hide, you can't hide
You can't hide from yourself
That's all I'm sayin' baby

[Verse 2: Grandmaster Flash + Teddy Pendergrass]
Go, go, go, go, go
You can't hide
Well I just got to tell you that I
You can't hide from yourself
Everywhere you go there you are
The truth is a light, a light shining within
When you look in the mirror do you see a foe or a friend?
And (?) now
But one day you go now
Gon' break down, break down and let it all out
You can't hide from yourself
Everywhere you go there you are
I just got to say that
You can't hide from yourself
Everywhere you go there you are
Make peace with yourself before you can love another
Understand who and what you are before you can go any further
You can lie all you want now
But one got to go now
It's gon' break down, break down and let it all out
You see that
You can't hide from yourself
Everywhere you go there you are
I just got to tell you
You can't hide from yourself
Everywhere you go there you are

[Outro: Grandmaster Flash]
You can't hide, you can't hide
No matter where you go you can't hide
Might as well face the truth now
You gon' have to do it one day
I don't care
You can't hide, you can't hide
You can't hide, you can't hide
You gon' find out that's the truth some day
You can't hide, you can't hide
You can't run, you can't run
You can't go no where

Teddy Pendergrass, the Philadelphia soul singer whose husky, potent baritone was one definition of R&B seduction in the 1970s but whose career was transformed in 1982 when he was severely paralyzed in an auto accident.

As the lead singer for Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, and in a solo career in which he sold millions of albums, Mr. Pendergrass brought gospel dynamics to bedroom vows in songs like “If You Don’t Know Me by Now,”, “Close the Door,” “Turn Off the Lights” and “Love T.K.O.”

His performances rose from breathy whispers to gutsy exhortations, making his voice the deeper, more aggressive counterpart to the styles of 1970s soul men like Al Green and Marvin Gaye.
