Runaway

I was just a poor young little ugly thing

Mama kicked me out just shy of seventeen

I was lookin' for love in the fire and the flames

But the only way to learn is to get yourself burned

That's how I became the runaway

I gave my hand to a man, he put the ring on me

He couldn't understand why he wasn't just like me

I should've known by the look in his eyes

We looked at the same guys

That's when I realized

No hands will hold me, I'll always be lonely

Is there someone out there who can break

This habit of going? There's no way of knowing

I promise I'll always be your little runaway

Your little runaway

If you're not careful, you'll get your heart broken

Take me as an example, I'll be your token

I used to fall head over feet

But everyone I loved deceived me

So what choice does that leave

A runaway?[Verse 4]

You could say my shadow is the only friend of mine

But it gets pretty lonely in the nighttime

My shadow is almost as hard to see, oh-oh

Almost as hard as it is to love me

A runaway

No hands will hold me, I'll always be lonely

Is there someone out there who can break

This habit of going? There's no way of knowing

I promise I'll always be your little runaway

I'll be your runaway
