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 on 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 wait's in heat
Down on that dead end street

And I say running for cover
Running for cover running for cover

It's keeping me running
I'm just a-scared that he's out tonight
It's keeping me running
I don't know why, but it's getting dark
Say the devil's in the park
And it's already after dark
Running for cover running for cover
Running for cover, now 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 defeat
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

And I say running for cover
Running for cover running for cover

It's keeping me running
I'm just a-scared that he's out tonight
It's keeping me running
I don't know why, but it's getting dark
Say the devil's in the park
And it's already after dark

Running for cover running for cover
Running for cover

I was always alone and afraid in the city
Left my shoes and my clothes
And my lovers behind, yeah
Oh but I felt incomplete
Out there on the street
