Hide away
Hide away

Make sure that I never come back and I
Disappear and I never come back and I
Make sure that I never come back and I
Make sure

I'm going to pack up all my bags
Vanish while I can
Leave this town behind
Pay it all no mind

I'm going to fly away
And no one's going to find me, yes

Keep my destination quiet
Take an early morning flight
Never tell a soul
Just light out on my own

I'm going to fly away
Mm-mm, and no one's going to find me

I'm going to wear some fake disguise
Change the colour of my eyes

I'm going to hide away - yeah

Yes and you're going to be surprised
I'll be wise before my time

 I'm going to hide away

 Make sure that I never come back and I
Disappear and I never come back and I
Make sure that I never come back and I
Disappear

I'm going to rent a small hotel
Throw away my cell
Cut off all my hair
Sweep away my cares

 I'm going to fly away
And no one's going to find me

I'm out of everybody's reach
Out on some twisted beach

 I'm going to hide away

Mmm, dissolve right out this scene
Out of everybody's dreams

 I'm going to hide away - yeah
Hide away

 Make sure that I never come back and I
Disappear and I never come back and I
Make sure that I never come back and I
Disappear and I never come back and I

Hide away - hide away baby
Hide away - hide away baby
Hide away - oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hide away - oh yes

I'm never going to come back again, yeah
I'll never come back again   (Make sure that I never come back and I)
Oh no, no, no, no, no   (Disappear and I never come back and I)

 (Make sure that I never come back and I)
(Disappear) And I never come back and I
Make sure that I never come back and I
Make sure I'll never come back again, hey    (Disappear and I never come back and I) 

(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)
(Disappear and I never come back and I)   Oh no, no, no, no
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)
(Disappear and I never come back and I) 
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)
(Disappear and I never come back and I)   Never, never, never come back, girl
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)
(Disappear and I never come back and I) 
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)  And there ain't no use in looking for me, baby
(Disappear and I never come back and I) 
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)  No, no, no, no - whoo!
(Disappear and I never come back and I)   And you never, never, never going to see me sure enough
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Disappear and I never come back and I) 
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)  And hide away
(Disappear and I never come back and I)   Hide away, baby
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)
(Disappear and I never come back and I)   Never, never come back again, yeah
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)
(Disappear and I never come back and I) 
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)
(Disappear and I never come back and I)   That's all right, that's all right, that's all right, that's all right
(Make sure that I never come back and I)  (Hide away)


 

TrackTalk

It started as a Sam Cooke-styled song but by the time we were recording it, it turned into an Al Green tune. Wyclef Jean provided a very different swing to it. Some Caribbean flavour, even if it's a soul song.

- Mick Jagger, 2001


It's one of those sessions I'll remember for the rest of my life. I did it as a fusion of hip-hop meets rock, the style of rock that Mick does, the real authentic rock with the right guitar sounds and stuff. His (vocal) chops were pretty incredible, definitely real hot - the minute the track comes on you'll be able to hear it's definitely hot.

- Wyclef Jean, August 2001
