You tried to let it go you couldn't give it up
Now you can run but you cannot hide
You got to let it slide

You can change the color of your hair but baby before too soon
You'll find that you can run but you cannot hide
You got to let it slide

Now you can skip out on your friends & you can tell all kinds of lies
You can try and fool yourself but don't be too surprised
When your big old fantasy cuts you right back down to size
Cause you can run from yourself but from yourself you cannot hide

Now you can change your name like you change your clothes
Where will it end well now I guess nobody knows
Yeah you can run but you cannot hide
You got to let it slide

Said you had no chance don't want to hear no lip
Cause you can run but you cannot hide
You got to let it slide

That's just the way that it is don't let it drive you mad
You can run but you cannot hide
You got to let it slide

Ain't no need to fight it what's the use in fighting for
Cause you can run but you cannot hide
You got to let it slide
