[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] I used to be proud, I used to be strong But all of that's changed, girl, since you've come along Your lovin' sweetness is my weakness Though I need you, dear, I just can't keep you near [Bridge] You keep running away You keep running away (You keep running away) You keep running away You keep running away (You keep running away) [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] But, darling, you, you keep runnin' away Darling, you just keep runnin' away
