"Run for Your Life" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1965 album Rubber Soul.

The line was taken from an early Elvis Presley song, "Baby Let's Play House" (written by Arthur Gunter).

[6] Ian MacDonald criticised the vocal performance and added these comments about the guitar: "The guitar-work, some of which is badly out of tune, is similarly rough, the piercingly simplistic blues solo suggesting that the player was not Harrison but Lennon himself.

"[7] Thomas Ward of AllMusic similarly criticised the song, calling it "arguably the weakest" on Rubber Soul, and one of the "lesser items in the entire Lennon–McCartney songbook".

[8] While he did compliment Lennon's vocal performance and Harrison's "lovely" guitar part, he nonetheless deemed the song "one of the Beatles most dispensable items".
