Running from your window
I was all night running
I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in
Run around and run down
Run around a corner
Run smack into a tree
I had to move
Really had to move
That's why, if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore
Dressed myself in green
I went down to the sea
Try to see what's going down
Maybe read between the lines
Had a feeling I was falling
Turned around to see
Heard a voice calling
You was comin' after me
I had to move
Really had to move
That's why, if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore
Ran into a rainstorm
Ducked into a bar door
It was all night pouring
But not a drop on me
Test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in the jail house
Until the sun goes down
'til it go down
I had to move
Really had to move
That's why, if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore
