Hey, baby, where you going?
Now wait a minute
You can't leave now
Now we been through this before
And I'm tired, that's right
Sick and tired of the
Same old thing over and over
You're a runaway love
You're a runaway love
You're a runaway love
You're a runaway love
You're slick here
Playing with my feelings
You keep messing 'round
Playing with my heart
I find the things that you say
They don't have no meaning
And that is why I know
We're gonna have to part
You're a runaway love
You're a runaway love
You're a runaway love
You're a runaway love
Oh, stop playing with my heart
If you don't mean it
And stop playing with my love
If you don't care
Don't go around making jokes
'Bout how you're using me
'Cause I ain't got no
Heartaches to spare
You're a runaway love
You're a runaway love
(Just-a keep on running away)
(Run away, run away)
You're a runaway love
(Running, running, running)
You're a runaway love
Don't come around
Holding me and kissing me
Talking all that jive
And getting my feelings up
If you're leaving me and running
Off to someone else's arms
Breaking up my heart and soul
And leaving me stuck
With all my tears
Heartaches and emotions
I'm all hung up with
Love and devotions
So stop messing with my heart
If you don't mean it
And stop messing with my love
If you don't care
Don't come here
Talking 'bout loving, no
You are using me
'Cause I ain't got no
Heartaches to spare
You're a runaway love
(Just a-running, just a-running)
(In and out of my life)
You're a runaway love
(Where you gonna)
(Run to this time, baby?)
You're a runaway love
(You can go if you want to)
(You can go, you can go)
You're a runaway love
(Don't come back next time)
Ow, get down, uh-huh
Yeah, shake it
Uh-huh, do your thing
Don't you feel it
Don't you feel it, yeah, yeah
Don't come around
Holding me and kissing me
Talking all that jive
And getting my feelings up
Then leaving me and running
Off to someone else's arms
Breaking up my heart and soul
And leaving me stuck
With all my tears
My heartaches and emotions
I'm all hung up with
Love and devotions
So stop messing with my heart
If you don't mean it
Hey, stop messing with my love

And waiting for you to come home
And you out someplace with somebody else

You ain't gotta be here
For me to be doing this

And run if you want to
Go ahead, like I said
