Tonight on the street
When the moon is shining
In the midnight heat
She will wait for one who thinks he's smart
And steal his unsuspecting heart
She comes on so strong that he thinks he knows her
Suddenly she's gone
And a memory is all there is of the burnin' love
He thought was his with
The hit and run lover
She's got him runnin' for cover
If you don't want to play, then stay
Out of the way of the eyes of
The hit and run lover

How can she smile
When she knows he's fallin'
She'll be his for a while
But you never know when she will turn
And one more lonely fool will learn about
The hit and run lover
Very soon he'll discover
That he can never be free
From the dreams that he sees
In the eyes of the hit and run lover

Back out on the street
When the moon is shining
In the midnight heat
He will wait again to hear her call
The lonely fool who soon will fall For the hit and run lover
She's got him runnin' for cover
Is it heaven or hell to be under the spell Of the eyes of the
hit and run lover
