Runaway Child by Dave Deal Couldn’t wait to see you leave I wanted you to go That’s when the fun begins When you’re walking out the door Don’t get me wrong I love you, baby Always next to me I’m not the man I thought I was As you can plainly see Don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone A lesson to be learned If you leap before you look Most the time you’re gonna get burned And if your car runs out of gas You gotta stop; you can’t go on How come I felt that empty inside The minute you were gone Come back to me, runaway child Don’t hide from me; stop running wild Come stay with me, runaway child Don’t hide from love, runaway child Can’t run from love, runaway child I want your love, runaway child Come get your love, runaway child You’ve always been a part of me So, I guess you know That you are my every thing I am nothing without you If I ever lost you, girl I just lost every thing How could I stand and watch you leave What was I thinking? Come back to me, runaway child Don’t hide from me; stop running wild Come stay with me, runaway child Author: Dave Deal Email: [email protected]
