Nowhere to Run Lyrics

Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
I got Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide

It's not love I'm runnin' from,
Just the heartbreak I know will come
Cause I know you're no good for me (You're no good)
But you've become a part of me

Everywhere I go, your face I see,
Every step I take, you take with me, yeah

Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide


I know you're no good for me,
But free of you, I'll never be, no

Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep,
I wake up feeling sorry I met you,
Hoping soon, that I'll forget you

When I look in the mirror, to comb my hair
I see your face just-a-smilin' there

Nowhere to run, Nowhere to hide, from you baby
I got Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide

I know you're no good for me.
But you've become a part of me

How can I fight a love, that shouldn't be?
When it's so deep, so deep, deep inside of me

My love reaches so high, I can't get over it
It's so wide, I can't get around it, no

Nowhere to run, Nowhere to hide from you babe
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try


I know you're no good for me,
But free of you, I'll never be

Nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide (Nowhere to hide)
Got nowhere to run to baby, Nowhere to hide (Nowhere to hide)

Martha Reeves & The Vandellas were one of the most successful groups in the Motown roster during the 1960s and fully active from 1960 to present, performing at various times doo-wop, pop, rock and roll and soul.

The label's second most-successful all-female singing group after The Supremes, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas were known for a churchier, more southern-styled soul than the Supremes, as typified in Motown hits such as "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave", "Jimmy Mack", "I'm Ready For Love", "My Baby Loves Me", "Nowhere to Run", and, their signature song, "Dancing in the Street".

The group had its origins in Detroit, Michigan in 1957, and had initially gone by the name The Del-Phis. It originally was a quartet comprising childhood friends Martha Reeves, Rosalind Ashford, Annette Beard, and original lead singer Gloria Williams. Williams left after a failed single on the Checkmate label, leaving the quartet as a trio. They changed their name to The Vells signing a deal with Motown's Mel-o-dy label, and singing background for established Motown performers such as Mary Wells and Marvin Gaye before signing a new deal with Motown's Gordy label on September 21, 1962, after which the group changed its name to Martha and the Vandellas.

In 1964, the Vandellas' lineup changed with Betty Kelley replacing Sterling. In 1967, Kelley was fired and was replaced by Martha's younger sister, Sandra "Lois" Reeves. In 1969, Ashford was also fired and replaced by Sandra Tilley. The lineup of the Reeves sisters and Tilley continued after Martha's return from an institution after suffering a nervous breakdown. The group disbanded following a farewell concert, held at Detroit's Cobo Hall on December 21, 1972., however, Reeves still performs with sister Lois and another Reeves sister, Delphine.
