	This might be the best song on the album. Written and sung by Denny Laine. Enough said about Denny's vocals. It's not right if the backing vocals outsing the lead vocalist. Besides that, it's a great song. The mouth organ adds to the sinister sound in the beginning. Paul focuses on the bass and he does a great job. Listen to his little basslick at 0.36. Nice brass at 1.06. Wings had a great brass section in those days and they really put something into this album and Wings Over America. I think this is an exciting song, full of tension and nice turns. Great little guitar solo. Like that.	Bobber	April 11, 2012
	This song, which would have sounded very much at home in an album by a blues-rock sort of group (Cream, Allman Bros., etc), sounds very weird when surrounded by McCartney songs and it took me quite a few listens to realize how good it is.	Bruce Beatlefan	April 11, 2006

Lyrics

If I have to run, I'm not runnin' out on you.
If I have to shake a little sand out of my shoes,
I'm runnin' from the law, or they'll put me inside.

Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.

I've been on the run since the good lord knows when,
And the day I die,
I'll still be runnin' then,
Runnin' from the days when I would lay me down and cry.

Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.

Will I love you tomorrow?
Yes, I will; my love,
Oh yes I will, my love.

Will I beg, steal or borrow?
Yes, I will; my love,
Oh yes I will, my love.

To spend a little time happy to be by your side.
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.

If I have to run, I'm not runnin' out on you.
If I have to shake a little sand out of my shoes,
I'm runnin' from the law, or they'll put me inside.

Baby, won't you let me have a little time,
Baby, won't you let me have a little time,
Baby, won't you let me have a little time to hide.
