Songinfo
"
Nowhere to Run" is a 1965 pop single by Martha and the Vandellas for the Gordy (Motown) label and is one of the group's signature songs. The song, written and produced by Motown's main production team of Holland–Dozier–Holland, depicts the story of a woman trapped in a bad relationship with a man she cannot help but love. Holland-Dozier-Holland and the Funk Brothers band gave the song a large, hard-driving instrumentation sound similar to the sound of prior "
Dancing in the Street" with snow chains used as percussion alongside the tambourine and drums.

Lyrics
Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, 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 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-smiling there
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from you, baby
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 lover that's sugar sweet
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, baby
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
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run
Got nowhere to run [fades out]
