Jumping the Fence by Mariel Buckley Lyrics

[Refrain]
I don't wanna be your dirty little secret
I don't wanna be the story you can't tell
I don't wanna run every time the door creaks
And if I see your daddy, gotta run like hell

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be the one to tide you over
Playing middle man to your next move
So I'll hide out now for your reputation
'Cause I'd rather be miserable than never have you

[Chorus]
And I don't wanna keep jumping the fence
Every time I gotta put you down
I've seen your daddy's loaded gun in the basement
And I know hе's runnin' me out of town

[Verse 2]
I don't wanna sneak in after dark and keep it down
But it's thе only way I can get close to you
I see the tail lights of the boy that's driving you home
But I know they can't love you the way that I do
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna keep jumping the fence
Every time I gotta put you down
I've seen your daddy's loaded gun in the basement
And I know he's runnin' me out of town

[Bridge]
"Keep it to yourself", that's what they all say
You know we ain't foolin' anybody anyway

[Refrain]
I don't wanna be your dirty little secret
I don't wanna be the story you can't tell
I don't wanna run every time the door creaks
And if I see your daddy, gonna run like hell

[Chorus]
And I don't wanna keep jumping the fence
Every time I gotta put you down
I've seen your daddy's loaded gun in the basement
And I know he's runnin' me out of town
I don't wanna keep jumping the fence
And every time I gotta put you down
I've seen your daddy's loaded gun in the basement
And I know he's runnin' me out of town
[Outro]
And I know he's runnin' me out of town
Lord, I know he's runnin' me out of town
