You ought to be careful with your promises The first rule of love is to believe you Words come so easy from a thousand miles Away and on the telephone line, so baby (CHORUS) Tell me where you gonna run to? When we're finally standing face to face A promise can never take the place Of kissing good night and never leaving You afraid that love will slow you down So where you gonna run to now? It's easy to keep safe at a distance Protecting your world the way that you do But safe isn't love and lovers can't be made If they were never given the chance, so baby (CHORUS) Tell me where you gonna run to? When we're finally standing face to face A promise can never take the place Of kissing good night and never leaving You afraid that love will slow you down So where you gonna run to now? Get into your heart Just get out of your head Nothing comes easy when you are afraid Then we can start To see what our lives would be if we're not apart (CHORUS) Tell me where you gonna run to? When we're finally standing face to face A promise can never take the place Of kissing good night and never leaving You afraid that love will slow you down So where you gonna run to now?
