"Nowhere To Run "
(Holland-Dozzier-Holland)





Nowhere to run to baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to baby
Nowhere to hide

It's not love I'm running from
It's the heartache I know will come
Because I know you're no good for me
But you've become a part of me

Everywhere I go your face I see
Every step I take you take with me

Nowhere to run to baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to baby
Nowhere to hide

I know you're no good for me
But free of you I'll never be

Each night as I sleep
into my heart you creep
I wake up feeling sorry I met you
Hoping soon that I'll forget you

When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there

Nowhere to run to baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to baby
Nowhere to hide

Because I know you're no good for me
But you've become a part of me

How can I fight a lover
that shouldn't be?
When it's so deep, so deep
deep inside of me?

My love reaches so high
I can't get over it
It's so wide I can't get around it

I know you're no good for me
But free of you I'll never be

Nowhere to run to baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to baby
Nowhere to hide


(Part Two "De Debble Am Real")


Ain't no blue sky down here baby
Ain't no blue sky any mo
We in a new world down here baby
Issa new world that's for sho

The devil chases after you
Devil gonna lick your eye
His servants have purple faces
with green stripes (yeah baby)
an, an, an red eyes

You can hear them laugh
Praying won't save you now
Hear the cheerleaders shout
You're in hell and there's no way out

The devil gonna get ya
Now you're gonna pay
Because when you were alive
You didn't do me right

You gonna suffer for the wrong you done
You gave up heaven for cheap thrills and fun

God don't like you no more
No, no God don't like you
Your the devil's child now that's for sure

Debble gwine hop on yo back
Debble gonna ride you ride you
Like Brer Rabbit and dat Mistuh Fox
De debbel gwine ride you

Because de debble am real
De debble am real
He tell the king of the world
"Here's the deal I am real
Ahm gwine tell you whut ta do"

Because de debble am real
(Spoken:) You may hide there in your pew
listening to the preacher with one good ear
but into the other the debble am say "I am here"

Debble your name is man
Been with me since I began
Debble haunt the chimpanzie
Debble make a man a monkey

Satan thou name is man
Ain't no natural religion
but what is yours

And thou shalt not meet thy end
Untill thou meet thy cause
