Lyrics
Run, run, run
Encouragement or warning to run
Run, run, run
Repetition emphasizing urgency
Run, run, run
Continuation of the urging to run
Run, run, run
Reiteration of the call to run
Well baby, better take my advice
Advice given to the listener
A black cat crossed your path twice
Superstitious warning about a black cat
The moon came out next to the sun
Unusual occurrence of the moon and sun
Then you opened your umbrella in a room
An action that could bring bad luck
You better run, run, run
Repetition of the urging to run
Run, run, run
Continued emphasis on the need to run
Run, run, run
Reiteration of the call to run
Run, run, run
Repeated urging for emphasis
Well you ain't the luckiest girl I know
Comment on the listener's luck
And you won't get luckier the way you're going
Prediction of worsening luck
Your horseshoe's rusty and your mirror's cracked
Description of unlucky items
You walk under ladders then you walk right back
Action that invites bad luck
You better run, run, run
Repetition of the urging to run
Run, run, run
Continued emphasis on the need to run
Run, run, run
Reiteration of the call to run
Run, run, run
Repeated urging for emphasis
When you dropped that little pin
Reflection on consequences of a small action
Never thought what a mess it'd get you in
Regret over the outcome of a small action
Little pin, little pin, bring me luck
Desire for luck through a small object
Because I stopped to pick you up
Explanation of picking up the small object
You better run, run, run
Repetition of the urging to run
Run, run, run
Continued emphasis on the need to run
Run, run, run
Reiteration of the call to run
Run, run, run
Repeated urging for emphasis
Well now, little girl, I'm helping you
Expression of assistance to the listener
I hope you believe what I say is true
Hope for the listener to believe the speaker
Whenever you run, I'll be running too
Promise to follow the listener
Whenever you run, I'll be following you
Commitment to follow the listener
You better run, run, run
Repetition of the urging to run
Run, run, run
Continued emphasis on the need to run
Run, run, run
Reiteration of the call to run
Run, run, run
Repeated urging for emphasis
