[Refrain: Amber Coffman]
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly, I never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me
[Chorus: Amber Coffman]
I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away, run away
Run away and never come back
Run, run away, run, run away, run away
Show 'em that your color is black
[Refrain: Amber Coffman]
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly, I never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things, I always see them coming for me
[Verse: Amber Coffman]
It would take some time just to see me shine
For the whole world to see me here in all of my light
But honestly, I've given up on all the fight
'Til one day I'll have you all wrapped up in my night
[Chorus: Amber Coffman & Jim Jones]
I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away, run away
Run away and never come back
Run, run away, run, run away, run away
Show 'em that your color is black (We have—we are born before our time)
I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away, run away (They won't accept us)
Run away and never come back
Run, run away, run, run away, run away
Show 'em that your color is black
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly, I never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me
[Chorus: Amber Coffman]
I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away, run away
Run away and never come back
Run, run away, run, run away, run away
Show 'em that your color is black
[Refrain: Amber Coffman]
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly, I never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things, I always see them coming for me
[Verse: Amber Coffman]
It would take some time just to see me shine
For the whole world to see me here in all of my light
But honestly, I've given up on all the fight
'Til one day I'll have you all wrapped up in my night
[Chorus: Amber Coffman & Jim Jones]
I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away, run away
Run away and never come back
Run, run away, run, run away, run away
Show 'em that your color is black (We have—we are born before our time)
I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away, run away (They won't accept us)
Run away and never come back
Run, run away, run, run away, run away
Show 'em that your color is black
