Lyrics
Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
I got Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
It's not love I'm runnin' from,
Just the heartbreak I know will come
Cause I know you're no good for me (You're no good)
But you've become a part of me
Everywhere I go, your face I see,
Every step I take, you take with me, yeah
Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me,
But free of you, I'll never be, no
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep,
I wake up feeling sorry I met you,
Hoping soon, that I'll forget you
When I look in the mirror, to comb my hair
I see your face just-a-smilin' there
Nowhere to run, Nowhere to hide, from you baby
I got Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me.
But you've become a part of me
How can I fight a love, that shouldn't be?
When it's so deep, so deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high, I can't get over it
It's so wide, I can't get around it, no
Nowhere to run, Nowhere to hide from you babe
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try
I know you're no good for me,
But free of you, I'll never be
Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide (Nowhere to hide)
Got nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide (Nowhere to hide)
(And fade)
I got Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
It's not love I'm runnin' from,
Just the heartbreak I know will come
Cause I know you're no good for me (You're no good)
But you've become a part of me
Everywhere I go, your face I see,
Every step I take, you take with me, yeah
Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me,
But free of you, I'll never be, no
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep,
I wake up feeling sorry I met you,
Hoping soon, that I'll forget you
When I look in the mirror, to comb my hair
I see your face just-a-smilin' there
Nowhere to run, Nowhere to hide, from you baby
I got Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me.
But you've become a part of me
How can I fight a love, that shouldn't be?
When it's so deep, so deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high, I can't get over it
It's so wide, I can't get around it, no
Nowhere to run, Nowhere to hide from you babe
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try
I know you're no good for me,
But free of you, I'll never be
Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide (Nowhere to hide)
Got nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide (Nowhere to hide)
(And fade)

Martha Reeves was working as a secretary for A&R man Mickey Stevenson at Motown when Mary Wells missed a session date; Reeves stepped in for her and eventually became a star. Her wail makes "Nowhere to Run" a downright scary tale of obsessive love.
