The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

THE FUGITIVE

Give it up baby don't be so mean give it up baby come clean

What harm can come from a stolen kiss how could you leave me at a time like this convicted by forbidden bliss you hit the road like a fugitive

Give it up baby give it to me I said give it up baby it's time come clean

Were we just getting too intimate like falling into a bottomless pit committed crimes are pa-passionate and just when it gets so primitive you hit the road like a fugitive

Work me now work me now baby show me how work me now

Running scared's no way to live hesitant and tentative something else has got to give it can be so primitive

Oh all in one night we'll scheme our way to the heavens you're captive in my grip you're watching time crawl by attending to my needs emotion boiling over I count the explosions then you hit the road like a fugitive hey

Work me now oh baby show me how work me now work me now

Staring for a moment as I sneak attack you run away I watch your back you got to make your getaway you better get it good you're just a primitive a fugitive

I said work me now come on and work me now oh baby baby show me how I said surrender surrender give it to me mm baby give it up don't be so mean ah baby baby can't ya why don't ya come clean come on and show me how baby work me now
