Sweet Honey In The Rock - Run lyrics

No one has the right (To hurt me) Especially when they say (They love me) Apologies dont make (Anything better) So i'll take my love and my life (and leave today) (chorus) Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end (bridge) I am gonna run far away from here No more cussin, no more fighting, and living in fear I am gonna run far away from you I have come to my senses and I dont need you I am gonna run gonna leave you today 'Cause I know there's got to be a better way Im gonna run, take my children's hand We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can I don't even know, in which direction I should go But im sure its the right thing to do, its time to make a move The first time I was shoved, I shoulda been out the door But I accepted the spologie, open myself up for more Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me! I don't have to live this way, Im leaving you today Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me! I don't have to suffer anymore, im walking right out of that door Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end Some of my so called friends, advised me to stick around Their not the one's getting burned, slapped or beaten down to the ground They say financial security is hard to come by for a woman like me And for the children, I need a good home, so I should sacrifice until their grown Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me! I don't have to suffer anymore, im walking right out of that door Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me! I don't have to live this way, Im leaving you today I am gonna run far away from here No more cussin, no more fighting, and living in fear I am gonna run far away from you I have come to my senses and I dont need you I am gonna run gonna leave you today 'Cause I know there's got to be a better way Im gonna run, take my children's hand We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can Now, I don't blame myself for the present situation For this, kind of behavior, there is no justification Im looking ahead to the future, I won't forget the past I won't repeat this part of my life, its over atlast! Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me! I don't have to live this way, Im leaving you today Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me! I don't have to suffer anymore, im walking right out of that door I am gonna run far away from here No more cussin, no more fighting, and living in fear I am gonna run far away from you I have come to my senses and I dont need you I am gonna run gonna leave you today 'Cause I know there's got to be a better way Im gonna run, take my children's hand We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end (adlibs until end of song)
