Bertha

I had a hard run
running from your window
i was all night running, running, 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, falling, falling
Turned around to see
heard a voice calling, calling, calling
you was comin after me
back to 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, pouring rain
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
till 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
