Lyrics

He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
She was standing there all alone
Had no money left
Love hangs on the phone
No one's home
It was Saturday
Getting hot
Conscious walked away
Can his heart be caught?
Love is not bought
Still she wants
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
Yes, he has honest eyes and a lovely face
It happens every time
Innocence lies
But the weekend pass on reality
Served to bring him back
Love was just an act for so long, now, he's gone
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
Runaway
Runaway
Runaway
Runaway way, way, way, way, way, way
Yes, he has honest eyes and a lovely face
It happens every time
Innocence lies
But the weekend pass on reality
Served to bring him back
Love was just an act for so long, now, he's gone
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
He's just a runaway, runaway
He'll run and break your heart
He is just a runaway
Run, run, running away
He is just a runaway
Run, run, running away
Running away
Run away
