Lyrics
If you’ve found another guy who
Satisfies you more than I do
Run to him
I’ll step aside
If you think his lips can kiss you
Better than my lips can kiss you
Run to him
Forgive my pride
If someone else’s arms can hold you
Better than my arms can hold you
Go to him
And show to him
All your devotion
If somebody else can make you
Happier than I can make you
Run to him
My tears will dry
If someone else’s arms can hold you
Better than my arms can hold you
Go to him
And show to him
All your devotion
If somebody else can make you
Happier than I can make you
Run to him
My tears will dry
If you feel you want to love me
I’d be more than glad to love you
Love you ’til your life is done
But darling, if I’m not the one
Then run to him
