Hounds of Love (Alternate) Lyrics

When I was a child
Running away from nothing
Heading for home
Now hounds of love are hunting
I've always been a coward
And I don't know what's good for me

Chorus

C'mon and run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run run run run run keep running
Run from the hounds of love
They need love, love, love, love, love---yeah

Do you know what I really need?
I know what I really need
But I don't know what's good for me
I don't know what's good for me

Oh, I need love
Now hounds of love are hunting
I've always been a coward
And I don't know what's good for me
I never know what's good for me

Chorus

So run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run, run honey
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run--run from the hounds of love.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The repitition of the word 'run' really reminds me of Patrick Wolf's 'The Childcatcher'.
