Don’t Run Me Down Foghat

Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP

I had a woman, all's she did was run me down
She changed our love to jealousy, and my smile into a frown
Now I've been hurt so many times, but I guess I'll never learn
Now I'm standin' in confusion, I don't know which way to turn
'Cause I still love that woman, please don't ask me why
We can make it if we try

She passed by in a limousine, and slowly waved her hand
A mink around her shoulders, and her arms around a man
Now I was so amazed I couldn't find a thing to say
Just stood awhile and tried to smile, but she looked the other way
Cruisin' through the city, she almost knocked me down
I jump back when I hear that sound

Don't run me down - Don't run me down - Don't run me down
My nerves are shakin' and my heart is breakin', don't run me down!

Here stands a troubled man who's tired of bein' abused
I'm tired of walkin' by myself, bewildered and confused
I've got to leave you baby, but I just can't let you go
Now I'm inclined to change my mind when tears begin to flow
Run me down, turn me around, I say no but you do it anyway
You tell me lies, but I've got wise. What can I say? What can I say?
