Whatcha’ tryin’ a do to my heart?
Whatcha’ tryin’ a do to my heart?
You go around tellin’ lies
And now you want to compromise
Whatcha’ tryin’ a do to my heart?
You Better Run! You Better Hide!
You better leave from my sight! Yeah
Whatcha’ tryin’ a do to my soul?
Whatcha’ tryin’ a do to my soul?
Well everything I had was yours
And now I’m closin’ all the doors
Whatcha’ tryin’ a do to my soul?
You Better Run! You Better Hide!
You better leave from my sight! Yeah
I love you oh, I love you so
Can’t you see it? Don’t you know?
I can’t stand your alibis
Your tellin’ lies, you drive me wild! Yeah

Said, whatcha’ tryin’ a do to my head?
Well now I’ve gotta draw the line
Cause you ain’t gonna take my mind!
What are ya tryin’ a do to my head?
You Better Run! You Better Hide!
You better leave from my sight!
You Better Run! You Better Hide!
You better leave from my sight!

I said go away, and leave me alone!
I can’t stand you no more!
- Peaked at #42 on the Pop charts
- Pat: I always liked the Rascals. I’d demoed that even way before we even got a record producer. I knew if I ever got a record deal I wanted to do that song. We used to do it in our live show.
Myron: When we first went out on tour, because we only had one album out, we went back to a lot of songs that Patti liked that she had done before, and this wwas one of them. as we played it we changed the arrangement on it.
Neil: That was the first song I did. We did it for the movie Roadie. That was the first time we put it on record.
