You Can't Get Away From It

You can’t get away from it
No matter how hard you try
'Cause if you really love someone
You can never say goodbye
Now they can walk on you
Lie about you
Mistreat you and then

So high you can’t get over it, and then
So low you can’t go under it
You can’t get away from it

Even strong men will cry
Turn his back and wipe the tears from his eyes 'cause
Love is like a fence

So high you can’t get over it, and then it’s
So low you can’t go under it, yeah
Oh, you can’t get away from it
No matter how hard you try
'Cause if you really really really really really really love someone
Now you can never say goodbye
Now they can walk on you
Lie about you
Mistreat you
Even doubt you
But with all of these things
You know that there’ll be love
So high you can’t get over it, I know, and
So low you can’t go under it, I know
You can’t get away from it

I’ve been to the mountain
Forget my trouble
Thought about my baby
I come back on the double
