Lyrics
I know it looks bad
Showing up at this ungodly hour
You think you?ve been had
By the people with all the power
But I?m by myself here
I know my mind, my own ideas
I?ll make it real clear--
I see what no one else here sees
Ch
No matter what they told you (run to me)
No matter what they said my reasons were
I?m just here to hold you (run to me)
I?m not looking for your surrender
But if you gotta run, honey can?t you see--you can run to me
This isn?t any put-on
But you?ve been shaking since I walked through your door
I?ll leave before dawn
If you just can?t take anymore
But I can tell you
The woman you will come to know
Would never sell you
So please don?t make me go alone
Ch
No matter what they told you (run to me)
No matter what they said my reasons were
I?m just here to hold you (run to me)
I?m not looking to be your conqueror
But if you gotta run, honey can?t you see--you can run to me
I don?t know where you stand
But you name the day, you name the hour
We?ll make our own plan
We?re the people with all the power
Believe your own eyes
Cuz what you see is what you get
They?ll tell you more lies
But they haven?t gotten to us yet
Ch
