I had a hard run,
Running from your window.
I was all night running.
I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in,
Run around and run down.
Run around a corner,
Run smack into a tree.
I had to move,
Really had to move.
That's why if you please,
I am on my bended knees.
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
Dressed myself in green,
I went down to the sea.
Try to see what's going down,
Maybe read between the lines.
Had a feeling I was falling,
Turned around to see.
Heard a voice calling,
You was comin after me.
I had to move,
Really had to move.
That's why if you please,
I am on my bended knees.
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
Ran into a rainstorm,
Ducked into a bar door.
It was all night pouring,
But not a drop on me.
Test me, test me.
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in the jail house,
Until the sun goes down.
Till it go down.
I had to move,
Really had to move.
That's why if you please,
I am on my bended knees.
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
Running from your window.
I was all night running.
I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in,
Run around and run down.
Run around a corner,
Run smack into a tree.
Really had to move.
That's why if you please,
I am on my bended knees.
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
I went down to the sea.
Try to see what's going down,
Maybe read between the lines.
Had a feeling I was falling,
Turned around to see.
Heard a voice calling,
You was comin after me.
Really had to move.
That's why if you please,
I am on my bended knees.
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
Ducked into a bar door.
It was all night pouring,
But not a drop on me.
Test me, test me.
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in the jail house,
Until the sun goes down.
Till it go down.
Really had to move.
That's why if you please,
I am on my bended knees.
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
