Comments:
Lisa Hartman is best known for two things: 1). between 1979-1983 she played the role of Ciji Dunne on the popular television soap opera "Knots Landing", and 2). on October 20, 1991 she married country music superstar Clint Black.

Lisa Hartman was one of the first recording artists to record an Adams-Vallance song. I met her at the "Teachers" film premiere in Los Angeles in September '84 (she was there with her mom, sitting a few rows ahead of my wife and I).  I thanked her for including "Hidin' From Love" on her recent album, "Letterock". We chatted for a few minutes, and she was very pleasant, humble and gracious.
Lyrics: I'm riding in the middle
Halfway into you
And halfway into something else
I don't know what to do

You said you'd make it easy
You said you'd take the time
But you called it off before I changed my mind

You're not decided you're only hidin' from love
You can't deny it you're only hidin' from love

Well I've been makin' changes
But you've been changin' too
You were hopin' love was somethin' else
I was hopin' it was you

You said you make it easy babe
You said you'd take the time
But you called it off before I changed my mind

You're not decided you're only hidin' from love
You can't deny it you're only hidin' from love
I know you tried but you're only hidin' from love
You say you're shy but you're only hidin' from love

Solo

You're not decided you're only hidin' from love
You can't deny it you're only hidin' from love
I know you tried but you're only hidin' from love
You say you're shy but you're only hidin' from love - oo ya

You're not decided you're only hidin' from love
You can't deny it you're only hidin' from love
