I had a woman, all´s 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!

[Rod - Solo]

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, Don´t run me down)
(Don´t run me down, Don´t run me down - Don´t run me down, Don´t run me down....)
Don´t run me down
(Don´t run me down, Don´t run me down)
No no
(Don´t run me down, Don´t run me down)
I hate to leave you baby
(Don´t run me down)
Don´t run me down,
(Don´t run me down,)
Don´t run me, run me run me.....no!
