You've got to run
You've got to go to the police
It's OK, you'll be fine
I think this is what's best for you
It's gonna turn out right
I've got to go
I've got to figure this out
You're really not at fault
You should go and clear your name
And work it out
Last chance Marie
You want to run? It'll be OK
Last chance Marie
I've got to run but you can give up now
So who are you?
Do you know what you want?
When nothing else is clear
To go on now is optional
And home is near
Last chance Marie
Calm down it'll be OK
Last chance Marie
I've got to run but you can give up now
They're coming they're coming
You know you can't run with the death squid shooting
They're coming they're coming
The pit bulls smiling and the squad cars screaming
Last chance Marie
You want to run? It'll be OK
Last chance Marie
I've got to run but you can give up not
To be free

    This is definitely based off of the Bourne Identity. I loved this song before, but now that I see what its about, I love it even more.

    I could never understand what they were saying when they were saying Marie, otherwise I would have figured it out before seeing the lyrics.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
