DONNA SUMMER

- Running For Cover Lyrics

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 was'ts in heart
down on that dead end street
Chorus:
And I say
running for cover
running for cover
running for cover
It's 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 I say
running for cover
running for cover
running for cover, now
Life is really so hard when you live in
the city
no one knows 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 with
the others behind
And the promise in the dark
is that the devil's in the park...
