You Can’t Run Away From Your Heart lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama told me
This day would surely come, yes she did
When I wouldn't know
Which way to turn
She said a man's gonna get a grip on you
And there's nothing you can do

[Chorus]
'Cause you can run away from that man
But you sure can't run away from your heart (no, no, no)
No, no

[Verse 2]
He gives me a little love
And he takes the rest somewhere else, yes he does
But his little is a whole lot
You see, I can't love nobody else
It's the third, the third time I left him
And the third time I'm going back

[Chorus]
'Cause you can run away from that man
But you sure can't run away from your heart (no, no, no)
No, no
[Verse 3]
He's done me wrong so many times
Oh, don't make me talk about him
I know I can't get along with him
I still can't go on without him

[Verse 4]
I'm gonna take him when he's sweet to me
Take all of his wrong, yes I will
'Cause he's the only man I know
That's got a [?]

[Chorus]
And I can run away from that man
But I sure can't run away from my heart (no, no, no)
No, no

[Outro]
No, no, I won't run (Sure can't run away)
No, surely (Sure can't run away)
Mama told me there'd be days like this, oh yes she did (Sure can't run away)
Mmm (no, no, yeah, no)
Surely, surely, I can't, no, no (Sure can't run away)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Sure can't run away)
