[Verse 1]
I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running
Lord, I wonder if you care
I had a run in
Run around and a run down
Run around the corner
Lord, I run smack into a tree

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Dressed myself in green
I went down under the sea
Try to see what's going down
Lord, and read between the lines
I had a feeling I was falling, falling, falling, falling
I turned around to see
Heard a voice a-calling, calling, calling
It was running back me
[Chorus]
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 anymorе

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I had to move
Really had to move
That's why if you plеase
I am on my bended knees
Bertha, don't you come around here anymore

[Verse 3]
Ran into a rainstorm
I ducked back into a bar door
It was all night pouring
But not a drop on me
Test me, test me, test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me
Throw me in the jail house
Until the sun go down
[Chorus]
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
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
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

[Outro]
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Anymore
