| Baby, I couldn’t hide
|
| No matter how hard I tried
|
| 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 anyplace
|
| 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
|
| Sound faded, worn and all outgrown
|

|
| Hey, I could never afford
|
| 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 hard I tried
|
| 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… |
