Lyrics
If I have to run
I'm not runnin' out on you
If I have to shake a little
Sand out of my shoes
I'm runnin' from the law
Or they'll put me inside
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time to hide
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time to hide
I've been on the run
Since the Good Lord knows when
And the day I die
I'll still be runnin' then
Runnin' from the days
When I would lay me down and cry
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time to hide
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time to hide
Will I love you tomorrow?
Yes, I will, my love
Yes, I will, my love
Will I beg, steal or borrow?
Yes, I will, my love
Yes, I will, my love
To spend a little time
Happy to be by your side
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time to hide
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time to hide
If I have to run
I'm not runnin' out on you
If I have to shake a little
Sand out of my shoes
I'm runnin' from the law
Or they'll put me inside
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time to hide
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time to hide
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time
Baby, won't you let me have
A little time to hide

Paul McCartney: Music Is Ideas. The Stories Behind the Songs (Vol. 1) 1970-1989
With 25 albums of pop music, 5 of classical – a total of around 500 songs – released over the course of more than half a century, Paul McCartney's career, on his own and with Wings, boasts an incredible catalogue that's always striving to free itself from the shadow of The Beatles. The stories behind the songs, demos and studio recordings, unreleased tracks, recording dates, musicians, live performances and tours, covers, events: Music Is Ideas Volume 1 traces McCartney's post-Beatles output from 1970 to 1989 in the form of 346 song sheets, filled with details of the recordings and stories behind the sessions. Accompanied by photos, and drawing on interviews and contemporary reviews, this reference book draws the portrait of a musical craftsman who has elevated popular song to an art-form.
