Lyrics:

Susie sits all alone
She waits by the telephone
Joey's out having fun
Waits to call when
She's not at home

She gets scared and then takes off
And runs from the cover of love
He knows that he'll find her there
And knows what she's thinking of

I know the broken hearted
When I look in their eyes I see
Is it the world that's changing
And turning away from me

Why do we run
From the cover of love
Why do we run
From the cover of love

You and I have been through this
A million times or more
Don't we know it's the same routine
So what are we fighting for

We all go and waste our time
But we are all the same
All we do is just run away
And play the same old game

You know the broken hearted
When you look in my eyes you see
Is it my life that's changing
And getting away from me

Why do we run
From the cover of love
Why do we run
From the cover of love

Stop

The changing heart knows no bound
Time may stand still
Emotions keep turning
The fire burns on and on

You know the broken hearted
If you look in my eyes you'll see
Is it my life that's changing
And getting away from me

Running from the left
Coming from the right
Running from the cover of love
Running from the left
Coming from the right
Running from the cover of love...

Why do we run
(Why do we run)
From the cover of love
Why do we run
(Why do we run)
From the cover of love
