Runaway Girl

(album: Runaround Sue - 1961)

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 little runaway girl?
My friends all told me I'm wasting time with my runaway girl
How did I know it was just a line from my runaway girl
She broke my heart in two
Now I'm blue; you'd be too
If you were in love with a runaway, a 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
