Runaway Girls

(album: Sons Of Beaches - 1982)

She just don't know where she's at
She want to buy or build her own flat
She's never had a home of her own
She rarely even uses the phone

I don't want to be cheap or nasty
I don't want to be hasty or crafty
I just want you to be yourself
'Cause tonight, tonight I need some help

I got, runaway girls on my mind
Give me, runaway girls all the time

She's headed for big bright lights
Used on the way but that's alright
Seems like there's some things you gotta sacrifice
To get where you want to go

Won't always be motel keys
Won't always be them broken dreams
That runaway girl left behind with stars in'er eyes
She's of a certain kind

She's my, runaway girls on my mind
Give me, runaway girls all the time
She's my, runaway girls far behind
Give me, runaway girls all the time-ime-ime

Time-ime-ime
Time-ime-ime
All the time
Runaway, runaway

It's alright (it's alright)
Do right (do right)
You will be mine

Hold tight (hold tight)
Do right (do right)
You will be mine

Girl, girl, girl (you'll be mine, you will be mine, oh mine)
Girl, girl, girl (my little runaway)
Girl, girl, girl (she my little runaway)
Girl, girl, girl (my little runaway)

She my runaway girl (runaway girl), on my mind
Give me
Runaway girls (all the time)
Runaway, runaway (runaway girls)
She my little, little runaway
Oh no she my runaway girl

She my runaway (girl, girl, girl) runaway, runaway, runaway
She my little runway, she my little runway (girl, girl, girl)
She my runaway girl! (girl, girl, girl)
