I had a woman, all 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? Don't run me down, don't run me down, don't run me down My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down Don't run me down, don't run me down, don't run me down My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down Don't run me down Don't run me down Don't run me down ...
