Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a hard run
Runnin' from your window
I was all night runnin', runnin'
Lord, I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in
Run around and a-run down
Run around a corner, corner
Lord, I run smack into a tree
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Dressed myself in green
Lord, I went down under the sea
Tried to see what's goin' down
Lord, try to read between the lines
I had a feeling I was fallin', fallin', fallin'
Lord, I turned around to see
Heard a voice a-callin'
Lord, you was a-runnin' back to me
Back to me
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Ran into a rainstorm
I ducked back into a bar door
It's all night pourin', pourin' rain
Lord, but not a drop on me
Not on me
Test-a, test me, test me, test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me into the jailhouse
Lord, until the sun go down
Till it go down
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
