It Keeps You Runnin'

Written by Michael McDonald

Performed by The Doobie Brothers

Say, where you gonna go
Girl, where you gonna hide
You go on leavin' out your heart
And all it's sayin' deep inside
Oh darlin
From here I can feel your heartbeat
Oh, you got me all wrong
You ain't got no worry
You just been lonely too long
I know what it means to hide your heart
From a long time ago
Oh, darlin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'

It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'

Oh, I know how I feel
Hey, you know I been there
But what you're keepin' to yourself
Oh, you know it just ain't fair
Are you gonna worry
For the rest of your life
Why you in such a hurry
To be lonely one more night
Well, I know what it means to hide your heart

From a long time ago
Oh, darlin'

It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
I know it does, baby
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you running
