verse
Yeah, it's been a long night, and the mirror's telling me to go home
But it's been a long time since I felt this good on my own, uh
Lotta years went by with my hands tied up in your ropes
Forever and ever, no more
chorus
I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh-no
I don't need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, can't bite the devil on my tongue, oh-no
I don't need to be loved by you
See my lips on her mouth, everybody's talkin' now, baby
Ooh, you know it's true (yeah, yeah)
That I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh-no
I don't need to be loved by you (loved by you)
verse
She got her hair pulled back
'Cause the sweat's drippin' off of her face (her face)
Said, "It ain't so bad if I wanna make a couple mistakes"
You should know right now that I never stayed put in one place
Forever and ever, no more (no more)
chorus
I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh-no
I don't need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, can't bite the devil on my tongue, oh-no (oh-no)
I don't need to be loved by you
See my lips on her mouth, everybody's talkin' now, baby
Ooh, you know it's true, yeah
That I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh-no
I don't need to be loved by you (by you)
chorus
I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh-no
I don't need to be loved by you (by you)
Fire in my lungs, can't bite the Devil on my tongue, oh-no
I don't need to be loved by you
See his hands 'round my waist, thought you never be replaced, baby
Ooh, you know it's true, yeah
That I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh-no
I don't need to be loved by you (yeah)
