You Keep Runnin' Away

(album: Special Forces - 1982)

I hear your high-heels clicking down the boulevard
You got your suitcase in hand, guess you're taking it hard
You swear you'll never trust another man
Ah, but I know that you will, it's just a question of when

So open up your eyes to the light
You've been far too alone for too many nights, oh
Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, someone is gonna beg you to stay
But you keep on running, you keep running
You keep on running away

I hear it whispered in the neighborhood
At one time you were the best, it was just understood
Then someone came and took you for a fool
The word is out on the street that love is looking for you

So open up your eyes to the light
You've been far too alone for too many nights, oh
Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, somewhere, don't look now, I'm coming up behind you
But you keep on running, you keep running
You keep on running away

So don't be fooled, you got me coming
I ain't no fool, you keep me running
And I don't know why
No, I don't know why
So open up, don't be afraid, baby
Is there someone standing in our way
Won't you tell me why
Don't you tell me goodbye, oh

Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, someone is gonna beg you to stay, baby
Somehow, somewhere, don't look now, I'm coming up behind you
But you keep running, you keep running
You keep on running away
But you keep on running, you keep running
You keep on running away
But you keep on running, you keep running
You keep on running away
But you keep on running, you keep running away
But you keep on running, you keep running away
But you keep on running, you keep running away
But you keep on running, you keep running away
