INTRO

Baby, I couldn’t

hide no matter how hard I descry.
Was foolish to have begun to believe I’d ever outrun.
And honey, I had no call to try and escape at all,
‘Cause by the time I got free, love caught up to me.

Baby, I used to have

ways to avoid any place,
That even had half the chance to cut in on my dance.
Yeah, my cool heart hung around, only if it couldn’t be found,
But showed up permanently, when love caught up to me.

The fascinations of each lie,
I told myself were reasons why
The feeble boast I made alone,
Sounds faded, worn and all outgrown.

INSTRUMENTAL

Hey, I could never af

ford honey, all it would cost,
To replace what you do if it ever got lost.
But baby, I’d beg and steal just to keep how I feel,
A way I never did need, ’til love caught up to me.

The fascinations of each lie,
I told myself were reasons why
The feeble boast I made alone,
Sound faded, worn and all outgrown.

Baby, I couldn’t

hide no matter how I descry.
Was foolish to have begun to believe I’d ever outrun.
And honey, I had no call to try and escape at all,
‘Cause by the time I got free, love caught up to me.
Yeah, by the time I got free love caught up to me.

INTRO (play this at the end of the song too)
