Hey baby tell me how you been
Glad to see you here, lets see if we can win
I’ve been waiting, a way too long
Now that you here it seems I have one thought
Run run run pretty baby run run run here to me
Run, run run pretty baby run run run here to me
Run run run pretty baby run here to me
Now I’ve been dreaming of what can be
I hope you can say give me your company
All these feelings can let love reign
Come close to me my dear we got so much to gain
Run run run pretty baby run run run here to me
Run run run pretty baby run run come on lets see
Run run run pretty baby run run run here to me
Run run run pretty baby run here to me
Lead guitar
Now all your loving is just so sweet
So nice to feel your love you knock me off my feet
All your caring makes me feel so new
I know that you know I’m letting all your love through
run run run pretty baby run run run here to me
Run run run pretty baby run run come on lets see
Run run run pretty baby run run run here to me
Run run run pretty baby run run run run run run here to me
