I fell in love with a runaway, a little runaway girl
Each night she's all that I dream about,
my little runaway girl
She used to make me glad
Now I'm sad and I feel so bad
Oh why must I always be waiting for
my little runaway girl?
My friends all told me I'm wastin' time
with my runaway girl
How did I know it was just a line
from my runaway girl
She broke my heart in 2
Now I'm blue; you'd be too
If you were in love with a runaway,
my little runaway girl
Although she may not feel this love
the way that I do
Each night and day I'll pray
that someday maybe she'll come through and then...
I know I won't be a lonely boy
with my runaway girl
'Cause now I'll be more than just a toy
for my runaway girl
If she comes back to me
I'll be free, then you'll see
Oh, my heart will sing and be glad again
with my runaway girl
Each night she's all that I dream about,
my little runaway girl
She used to make me glad
Now I'm sad and I feel so bad
Oh why must I always be waiting for
my little runaway girl?
My friends all told me I'm wastin' time
with my runaway girl
How did I know it was just a line
from my runaway girl
She broke my heart in 2
Now I'm blue; you'd be too
If you were in love with a runaway,
my little runaway girl
Although she may not feel this love
the way that I do
Each night and day I'll pray
that someday maybe she'll come through and then...
I know I won't be a lonely boy
with my runaway girl
'Cause now I'll be more than just a toy
for my runaway girl
If she comes back to me
I'll be free, then you'll see
Oh, my heart will sing and be glad again
with my runaway girl
