Runaway

you're just a runaway, running away
you're just a runaway, running away
when i met you, you were just sixteen
all alone
you were on the street
your father was a drunk
your family was poor
i promised you that
i would even the score

i took you in
i gave you a home
i gave you confidence
i gave you hope
and now you wanna leave me
is that a treat?
tell me is this the thanks i get?

you think of running away
you'd run away
i'm gonna make you stay

you're just a runaway
running away
[don't runaway
don't runaway]

you're just a runaway
running away

stop running away
stop running away

i wanna thank you
for all that you've done
we have memories, we had such fun, but
i never promised you anything
not even back when i was sixteen

the way i feel is plain to see
you'll always be something special to me
but, it's time to move on
there's a hole world to see
there's a woman inside of me
that wants to be free

you think of running away
i'm gonna make you stay

you're just a runaway
running away
[don't runaway
don't runaway]

you're just a runaway
running away
stop running away
stop running away

i just can't live without you
thought i knew everything
about you
before you run, before you go
i just want you to know

you're just a runaway
running away

you've gotta stay, just gotta stay

you're just a runaway
running away

stop running away
stop running away

you're just a runaway
running away

stop running away
stop running away

oh baby, baby baby...
