Never Get Away

[Intro: The Wailers (The Wailers)
Keep on running too fast, I tell you
Never get away (Oh yeah)
Never get away (You never-never-never)
Never get away (Oh, you could-a never)

You keep on running, but you just can't
Never get away
You broke my heart, so me wonder
You got to pay

So, girl-a, look at the goodies I bought you
A that what make you want to give so relate
Him, dem ya style ya, damsel
You know dem sweeta than Craven-A

You keep on running, but you just can't
Never get away (Never-never)
You broke my heart, then me wonder (Oh baby)
You got to pay
You just got to pay (You got to pay)
Never get away (I make you swing and sway)
You just got to pay, baby

Jump on di wheel like you're a Gibson relay
Fling down your style like you are Marvin Gaye
You know when you work, Lord, you must get pay
Lord have mercy, say, no bother come sway
Never get away, you could-a never get away

Look at love I give you
And still you make no reply (Oh no, girl)
Giving the pain, still work me
It seems you don't love me no more, baby

Lord have mercy
See teeth for that and see bottle for fish
Call me like the whitetail dish
No come pon di corner, gwan like you're selfish
Point your finger and call fi what you wish
Suffering soup inna one big pie dish
Chat inna English and Spanish

Oh, then me wonder (Yeah)
You got to pay (You got to pay)
You just got to pay (Know you got to pay)
Never get away, baby (Lord have mercy)
You just got to pay (Say, you got to pay)
Never get away (Hey)
Never get away (You never get away)

Baby, baby
Rime on you dime or cent
Baby, baby
Know dem ya style, I say, dem magnificent
When it come to chatting, say, me well excellent
Crawl pon di riddim like a damn serpent
Kick up pon your vehicle 'til the fender dem bent
Lord have mercy, mi haffi pay mi rent
Never get away
You just got to pay (Say, you got to pay)

I beg you, whoa, you bring you off and leave
Yeah-yeah, baby
