[Verse 1]
You can't get away from it
No matter how hard you try
'Cause if you really love someone
You can't ever say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Now they can walk on you
Lie about you
Mistreat you and then
Even doubt you

[Chorus]
But with all of these things
You know that there'll be love
So high you can't get over it, and then
So low you can't go under it

[Verse 2]
You can't get away from it
No matter how hard you try
When your days and nights are ending
You want to hear your baby's tender sigh

[Pre-Chorus]
Even strong men will cry
Turn his back and wipe the tears from his eyes 'cause
[Chorus]
Love is like a fence
You know that it's
So high you can't get over it, and then it's
So low you can't go under it, yeah

[Verse 1]
Oh, you can't get away from it
No matter how hard you try
'Cause if you really, really, really, really, really, really love someone
Now you can never say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Now they can walk on you
Lie about you
Mistreat you
Even doubt you

[Chorus]
But with all of these things
You know that there'll be love
So high you can't get over it, I know, and
So low you can't go under it, I know

[Outro]
You can't get away from it
I went to the river
I started to drown
Thought about my baby
I turned around
I went to the mountain
Forget my trouble
Thought about my baby
I'd come back on the double
