You Keep Running Away (Single)
You keep running away
Though I beg you not to leave
Still, you won't stay
Darlin', you keep running away
Tearin' my heart apart every step of the way
You're here today and gone tomorrow
Leavin' this heart of mine in sorrow
Now, you come around every now and then
Long enough to hurt me, then you're gone again
Darlin' you, you keep running away
Though I begged you not to leave, you never stay
Now you, you keep running away
Leavin' me here to face another lonely day
To you, all this is just a game
Well, each time you play, girl, I feel the pain
But I've got so much love for you
I keep wanting you no matter what you do
All I want to do is take care of you
Everything I have in my life
I'll share with you
This soul of mine has been possessed by you
Darling, my heart has been obsessed with you
Just look at me
I'm not the man I used to be
I used to be proud
I used to be strong
But all of that's changed, girl
Since you come along
Your lovin' sweetness
Is my weakness
Though I need you, dear
I just can't keep you near
(Runnin' away, you keep runnin' away)
(You keep runnin' away)
(Runnin' away, you keep runnin' away)
(You keep runnin' away)
Each time you go, the hurt comes callin'
My days become nights, darlin'
My nights become so much longer
You're in my life, you're in my heart
But I can't get you
Get you into my arms
But darling, you, you keep runnin' away
Darling you, you just keep runnin' away
Though I beg you not to leave
Still, you won't stay
Darlin', you keep running away
Tearin' my heart apart every step of the way
You're here today and gone tomorrow
Leavin' this heart of mine in sorrow
Now, you come around every now and then
Long enough to hurt me, then you're gone again
Darlin' you, you keep running away
Though I begged you not to leave, you never stay
Now you, you keep running away
Leavin' me here to face another lonely day
To you, all this is just a game
Well, each time you play, girl, I feel the pain
But I've got so much love for you
I keep wanting you no matter what you do
All I want to do is take care of you
Everything I have in my life
I'll share with you
This soul of mine has been possessed by you
Darling, my heart has been obsessed with you
Just look at me
I'm not the man I used to be
I used to be proud
I used to be strong
But all of that's changed, girl
Since you come along
Your lovin' sweetness
Is my weakness
Though I need you, dear
I just can't keep you near
(Runnin' away, you keep runnin' away)
(You keep runnin' away)
(Runnin' away, you keep runnin' away)
(You keep runnin' away)
Each time you go, the hurt comes callin'
My days become nights, darlin'
My nights become so much longer
You're in my life, you're in my heart
But I can't get you
Get you into my arms
But darling, you, you keep runnin' away
Darling you, you just keep runnin' away
