Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

As I've said previously, one of the arguments about posting to Academia.edu is that one shouldn't because, CAPITALISM! Alas, capitalism is pervasive. An old song by Martha and the Vandellas speaks to the issue:



Here's the lyrics:
Nowhere to run, baby nowhere to hide
I got nowhere to run, baby nowhere to hide

It's not love, I'm running from
It's the heartaches, I know will come
'Cause I know, you're no good for me
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, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run, baby nowhere to hide

I know you're no good for me, now
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 and comb my hair
I see your face just a-smiling there

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

I know you're no good for me
But free of you, I'll never be
How can I fight a lover that's sugar sweet
When it's so deep, so deep, deep inside of me

My love reaches so high, you can't get over it
So wide, you can't get around, no

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

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

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