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?
