Musical intro
Capo 2nd fret
v
You said, “I love you.”
I said, “I love you too.”
That is what I pretended to hear,
pretended to hear, pretended to hear,
pretended to hear.
v
But I played with paper dolls
when I was a girl.
I would cut them out,
dress them up,
I had my own world.
v
In my youth
I could run like the wind.
I was faster than all the boys
they couldn’t catch me then.
v
Time has slowed me down,
Now, there is only one thing,
one thing for me to do.
c
I better run.
Run like the wind.
If I’m going to catch the boys
I have to run. Umm, umm.
Run like the wind.
v
You put ideas in my head.
All your words filled me with hope
I believed what you said.
v
Paper dolls never hurt me then.
Each story I told had to end.
You broke my heart
And I can’t let it go
There is only one thing you need to know.
c
Run. You better run.
Run like the wind.
Don’t look back boy
Don’t look over your shoulder.
You better run. Umm, umm.
Run like the wind.
v
I made you into
more than what was there
I breathed life into paper-thin air
v
But I played with paper dolls
when I was a girl.
I would cut them out,
dress them up.
I had my own world.
Now there is only one thing,
only one thing for me to do.
c
I have to run.
Run like the wind.
You broke my heart.
You better run.
Don’t look back boy.
Run like the wind.
Umm, umm. Umm, umm.
