Hit and Run Lyrics

Well, well, well
Whoa, whoa

Hit and run
You were just out for fun
I thought I was the only one
Who turned you on
But I was wrong

Hit and run
Girl, you played your game so well
You really made it hard to tell
That all you were was
A one night stand

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The stage was set the day we met
I thought I had the leading part
But you lied to me and led me to believe
That no one else could steal your heart

But you said you would love me good
And I thought that you were here to stay
You held me tight, it felt so right
Then you up and ran away

Oh, hit and run
You were just having fun
Girl, I thought I was the only one
Who turned you on
But I was wrong

Hit and run
Girl, you played your game so well
You really made it hard to tell
That all you were was
A one night stand

Well, well, well
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Yeah

I bet you know I wanted you so
But love was never on your mind
No chance for me 'cause you had to leave
For a love of a different kind

Girl, you lied to me, led me to believe
You were gonna be here to stay
I never understood, never thought you would
Turn your back and run away

Oh, hit and run
Girl, you were just out for fun
I thought I was the only one
Who turned you on
But I was wrong

Hit and run
Girl, you played your game so well
Girl, you really made it hard to tell, oh yeah
That all you were was a one night stand

Hey, hey
Well
Woo, woo, woo

Hit and run, just for fun, ooh
Hit and run, just for fun on me
Hit and run, just for fun

The Bar-Kays were a popular Memphis, Tennessee, soul, R&B, and funk group performing from 1966 that continues in some form to perform today, although with only one original member. They began as a favorite soul studio sessions group backing major artists at Stax Records, chosen in 1967 by Otis Redding to play as his touring backup band.

On December 10, 1967, Redding, his manager, and band members Jimmy King (b.1949; guitar), Ronnie Caldwell (b. 1948; organ), Phalon Jones (b. 1949; saxophone), and Carl Cunningham (b. 1949; drums) died in a plane crash in Lake Monona while on their way to a performance in Madison, Wisconsin.

Trumpeter Ben Cauley survived the crash and bassist James Alexander (who missed the flight due to returning a rental car) rebuilt the group.

The reformed band consisted of Cauley; Alexander; Harvey Henderson, saxophone; Michael Toles, guitar; Ronnie Gorden, organ; Willie Hall, drums and later Larry Dodson, lead vocals.

The group backed dozens of major Stax artists on recordings afterwards, including on Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul album, and changed direction in the 1970s to have a successful funk music career. Lloyd Smith joined the Bar-Kays in 1973. They continued to score hits on R&B charts well into the 1980s and lately have incorporated contemporary rap & remix elements into their continuing career and have performed all over the world.
