[Verse 1]
Baby, I couldn't hide
No matter how hard I tried
Was foolish to have begun
To believe I'd ever outrun

[Verse 2]
And honey, I had no call
To try and escape at all
'Cause by the time I got free
Love caught up to me

[Verse 3]
Baby, I used to have ways
To avoid anyplace
That even had half the chance
To cut in on my dance

[Verse 4]
Yeah, my cool heart hung around
Only if it couldn't be found
But showed up permanently
When love caught up to me

[Chorus]
The fascinations of each lie
I told myself were reasons why
The feeble boast I made alone
Sound faded, worn and all outgrown
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Hey, I could never afford
Honey, all it would cost
To replace what you do
If it ever got lost

[Verse 6]
But baby, I'd beg and steal
Just to keep how I feel
A way I never did need
'Til love caught up to me

[Chorus]
The fascinations of each lie
I told myself were reasons why
The feeble boast I made alone
Sound faded, worn and all outgrown

[Verse 1]
Baby, I couldn't hide
No matter how hard I tried
Was foolish to have begun
To believe I'd ever outrun
[Verse 2]
And honey, I had no call
To try and escape at all
'Cause by the time I got free
Love caught up to me
Yeah, by the time I got free
Love caught up to me
