As I walk alone, I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong

To end this misery

My little runaway
My run, run, run, run, runaway

[Chorus]
I'm walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why
She ran away
And I wonder
Where she will stay
And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
My run, run, run, run, runaway
My run, run, run, run, runaway
My run, run, run, run, runaway
