Steve's Beatles Page - Songs - Run For Your Life

Run For Your Life

Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
or I won't know where I am

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl

Well I know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
trying just to make you toe the line

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl

Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl

I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
of I won't know where I am

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:06-0:08
In build up to John's vocal, there is a phasing effect. It's John's vocal mike picking up his headphones as he approaches the mike to sing.

1:06 (Vinyl only)
Muffled thud of a microphone being hit at the end of the fourth bar of the 6 bar guitar solo. Cleaned up for CD release!

1:02,1:09
During guitar solo, noises like a speaker having a problem? Slight distortion of guitar sound.

Note: I did not write or compile these anomalies. Please don't email me with new anomalies and please read the WGO Info page.
