I left my baby
Just the other night
She said something

And it led to a fight

Begged and I pleaded

Just for one more chance
So she told she'd be
At the Saturday dance


Came into the dance
And the lights were dim

Then I saw to my surprise
That you were dancing with him


I walked up to ask you
If you thought it was right
But before you could answer

He had started a fight

(CHORUS)

Run, tell the people
I'm being hurt
I could fight him alone

But can't you see
His friends are too much for me
Run, tell the people

I'm nearly dead
If you do what I ask
I'll know you're mine

You didn't mean the things
That you said


I couldn't believe what
Was happening to me
Cause there was people all around

And I couldn't get free

I punched and I kicked

I tried as hard as I could
But his friends made sure
It didn't do me no good


I knew by now
I couldn't carry on

I looked all around
And saw that you had gone


I hoped and I prayed
That you'd forgotten him
That you'd realize

The trouble I'm in

(CHORUS) 3X to fade
