Yeah you're pretty cute, I can see. Well you've come a long way since September, But, Sylvie, you oughtta remember,
You know he's mine. You know he's mine. You know he's mine.
Sylvie, girl, I'm a very patient person, But I'll have to shut you down, If you don't give up your flirting. Leave him alone, 'cos I know he loves me. Leave him alone, 'cos he tells me he loves me.
Over and over and over and over again. Over and over and over and over again.
Seventeen, high-school queen, Yeah you're pretty cute, I can see. Well you've come a long way since September, But, Sylvie, you oughtta remember,
You know he's mine. You know he's mine. You know he's mine.
Sylvie, girl, although you're my little sister, Well you're not without your charms, I'm not sure that he'll resist you. Give it all up, for we see you crying. Give it all up, 'cos I know you've been trying.
Over and over and over and over again. Over and over and over and over again.
Over and over and over and over again. ( to fade, with backing vocals of 'Oh, Sylvie girl, oh Sylvie girl.'
No one has the right (To hurt me) Especially when they say (They love me) Apologies dont make (Anything better) So i'll take my love and my life (and leave today)
(chorus)
Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end
(bridge)
I am gonna run far away from here No more cussin, no more fighting, and living in fear
I am gonna run far away from you I have come to my senses and I dont need you
I am gonna run gonna leave you today 'Cause I know there's got to be a better way
Im gonna run, take my children's hand We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can
I don't even know, in which direction I should go But im sure its the right thing to do, its time to make a move. The first time I was shoved, I shoulda been out the door But I accepted the spologie, open myself up for more
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to live this way, Im leaving you today
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to suffer anymore, im walking right out of that door
Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Some of my so called friends, advised me to stick around Their not the one's getting burned, slapped or beaten down to the ground. They say financial security is hard to come by for a woman like me, And for the children, I need a good home, so I should sacrifice until their grown.
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to suffer anymore, im walking right out of that door
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to live this way, Im leaving you today
I am gonna run far away from here No more cussin, no more fighting, and living in fear
I am gonna run far away from you I have come to my senses and I dont need you
I am gonna run gonna leave you today 'Cause I know there's got to be a better way
Im gonna run, take my children's hand We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can
Now, I don't blame myself for the present situation For this, kind of behavior, there is no justification Im looking ahead to the future, I wont forget the past I wont repeat this part of my life, its over atlast!
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to live this way, Im leaving you today
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to suffer anymore, im walking right out of that door
I am gonna run far away from here No more cussin, no more fighting, and living in fear
I am gonna run far away from you I have come to my senses and I dont need you
I am gonna run gonna leave you today 'Cause I know there's got to be a better way
Im gonna run, take my children's hand We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can
Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend Better run for my life before it comes to an end
