"Hit and Run Lover" is the first song on Fragile, the seventh studio album from the dance music band Dead or Alive (band). Like the 1990 album Fan the Flame (Part 1), it was released only in Japan, where the band were very popular. The song was a hit record for the group, peaking at #2 on the Japanese charts.
A remix of the song was included on Unbreakable: The Fragile Remixes (2001). The new version was performed live at the TokyoBigSite during an Avex rave concert in 2001, with two new members, Cliff Slapher and Mickey Dee, and without Jason Alburey.
Technically it is known as the band's last new song released as a single, because years later the 2003 remix and subsequent reissues of "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" would be released.

You look like somebody
I used to know A daydream believer With a heart of gold Don't try to ignorme me 'Cause everyone already knows All about the scandalous things We used to do The time at the movies In your daddy's room They don't satisfy me They seem to do something for you So why am I surprised You're a hit and run lover Put the hammer to the wheel Baby, run for cover Gonna tell it to your friends You're a two time mutha Tell me why am I surprised Why am I surprised I'm that secret You were keeping I was looking You were leaping Take a look at my face I'm not laughing yet I got something for you That you'll never forget And I know, you know, they know That old black magic is mine You got no money, Well maybe a dime But time costs a fortune And the hours are mine But we're gonna make it We've got what it takes We're gonna make it We got what it takes Why am I surprised You're a hit and run lover Put the hammer to the wheel Baby, run for cover Gonna tell it to your friends You're a two time lover Tell me why am I surprised You're a hit and run lover |
