Hide Away
De'Lacy Lyrics

I got a man who tries to run me
I have a partner who tries to control me

That's the way to make me run away
His behavior is pushing me away

He don't know he's just-a pushin' me
He is not aware that he is being controlling

To a man who make me happy
To someone who will treat me better

I'm an independent woman, mmm
I am a strong and self-sufficient woman

I don't need no man to take care of me
I don't rely on a man to support me

Can't nobody pay for my problems
I accept responsibility for my own issues

'Cause I supply my own security
I take care of myself

I need a hide-hide-hide-hideaway
I need a place to escape to

To make me runaway
Where I can go to avoid my situation

Listen to me, I need a hide-hide-hide-hideaway
I am asking for help finding a refuge

To make me runaway, no, no
Somewhere I can feel safe and secure

If it ain't one thing, it's another
There is always something else causing problems

Don't you get caught up in the truth, time each other
Don't get bogged down in details, let's work together

Love will make you blind every time
Love can cloud your judgment

But now I need a little peace of mind
I need some time to myself to think

My mistake was lettin' my pa down
I made a mistake in disappointing my father

Settin' myself up for this runaround
I am responsible for putting myself in this situation

Now you just don't need to let me go
You should not try to force me to stay

'Cause now I know you don't have no control
Because I am now aware of my own power

I need you to go, hey, hey
I am asking my partner to leave

Don't you wanna go?
Wouldn't you be happier on your own?

I want you to go, hey, hey yeah
I am telling you directly that I want you to leave

I need to, baby
I really need you to go

Oho, don't you need to go, oho, oh
Don't you realize that it's for the best?

I need you to go
I am reiterating that I need you to leave
