Running for Cover - Donna Summer

Spent the best of my life running scared

in the city

left my shoes and my clothes and

my lovers behind, yeah

oh but I felt incomplete

living out there in the street

I was always alone and afraid

such a pity

little girls just don’t know what comes

out after dark

but the devil wasn’t in here

down on that dead end street

And I say

running for cover

running for cover

running for cover

It’s take keeping me running

I’m just scared that he’s out tonight

it’s keeping me running

I don’t know why, but its getting dark

say the devil’s in the park

and its already after dark

running for cover

running for cover

running for cover, now

Life is really so hard when you live in the city

no one know what a young girl

has on her mind, yeah

but you’re headed for defect

down on that dead end street

Never learned of the lesson

you should, such a pity

Still and all you’ll stay away

the others behind

and the promise in the dark

is that the devil’s in the park

And I say

running for cover

running for cover

running for cover

It’s take keeping me running

I’m just scared that he’s out tonight

it’s keeping me running

I don’t know why, but its getting dark

say the devil’s in the park

and its already after dark

running for cover

running for cover

running for cover

Spent the best of my life running scared

in the city

left my shoes and my clothes and

my lovers behind, yeah

oh but I felt incomplete

living out there in the street

running for cover

running for cover

running for cover

It’s take keeping me running

I’m just scared that he’s out tonight

it’s keeping me running

I don’t know why, but its getting dark

say the devil’s in the park

and its already after dark
