Why don't I run away from you?
Everybody's saying run away
Find another boy to play with
That's not easy to do
With someone new, oh yeah
(Run, run, run away, oh)
Why don't I run away and hide?
Oh it's very nice, their advice
I've already done it twice
They don't know how I've tried
I've lost my pride, oh yeah
(Run, run, run away, oh)
I go to every single place we used to go
You know I can't even sit through a movie show
You know you make me cry so
Yeah, you make me cry so
(Run, run, run away, oh
Run, run, run away, oh)
Why don't I run away from you?
Oh, I wish I could and I would
But it wouldn't do no good
When I feel the way I do
I still love you, oh, yeah
(Run, run, run away, oh)
Baby I do
Said you know that I do
Baby I do
Oh, baby I do
