You're walking the street
You're in need of someone's sympathy
And someone you meet
Helps to pass the time just perfectly

And she takes you by the hand
Takes you to the promised land
And gives you her love

Drinking alone
Shadowed by your own uncertainty
You'd like to be shown
Everything you've never dared to see

Then she takes you by the hand
Takes you to the promised land
And gives you her love

And then The damage is done
Take your love on the run
You can buy your romance
So you jump at the chance
Hit and run
Hit and run
Hit and run

Drinking alone
Shadowed by your own uncertainty
You'd like to be shown
Everything you've never dared to see
Then she takes you by the hand
Takes you to the promised land
And gives you her love

And then the damage is done
Take your love on the run
You can buy your romance
So you jump at the chance

Hit and run
Hit and run

You can buy your romance
So you jump at the chance

Hit and run
Hit and run
You know you're just hit and run
