Run 'Em Off

(albüm: Look What Thoughts Will Do - 1997)

Now, when the big bad wolf got in grandma's house
And Little Red Riding Hood was scared as a mouse
And just like her I'm scared through and through
That's some two legged wolf, it would run away with you, so run 'em off

No use to talk all day, run 'em off
They're trying to get you to play, run 'em off
Make 'em let us be
If you don't run 'em off, I'll swear you're cheating on me

Now there's an iceman, milkman, and folks out of tow
They don't come to visit, they just hang around
They act just as friendly as can be
But I don't think they care a thing about me, so run 'em off

Don't talk too long, run 'em off
So we can be alone, run 'em off
And make 'em let us be
If you don't run 'em off, I'll swear you're cheating on me

No matter where you are or what you do
Folks all a-whistle and howl at you
When they get too close then I want to say, "Shoo"
'Cause it looks like they want to take a bite of you, so run 'em off

Don't talk too much, run 'em off
You're gonna get in dutch, run 'em off
And make 'em let us be
If you don't run 'em off, I'll swear you're cheating on me

Now once I ended this song, but I'll write some more
'Cause there is a half dozen wolfs coming up to my door
I can tell by looking, 'cause it's plain to see
That they're not here to make eyes at me, run 'em off (Run 'em off)

Don't want them hanging around, run 'em off (Run 'em off)
You'll be the talk of the town, run 'em off (Run 'em off)
And make 'em let us be
If you don't run 'em of, I'll swear you're cheating on me
