Run for your life
(Lennon/McCartney)

Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
you'd better keep your head, little girl
or I wonder where I am

You'd 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
ah, little girl

Well you 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 tow the line

You'd 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
ah, little girl

Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I said
baby I'm determined
and I'd rather see you dead

You'd 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
ah, little girl

I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
you'd better keep your head, little girl
or you'll wonder where I am

You'd 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
ah, little girl
