Running Away (Ain't Gonna Help You)

Oh girl, why won't you talk to me on the phone?

Every time I call, you disguise your voice

And tell me you're not at home

And girl, this cold shoulder you're giving me

I don't understand

Could it be that you've already got yourself a man?

If not

Running away (running away) sure ain't gonna help you

(I'm gonna get ya) I'm gonna get'cha

Better believe I'm gonna get ya

Running away sure ain't gonna help you

(I'm gonna get ya) I'm gonna get ya

I'm gonna get'cha

Could it be, could it be you're afraid of me

If so, I can't recall giving you a reason to be

You could see how much I love you

I've overexposed myself

You have filled my heart with so much love

'Til there's room for nobody else

Running away sure ain't gonna help you

(I'm gonna get ya) I'm gonna get'cha

Better believe I'm gonna get ya

(I said running away) running away sure ain't gonna help you

(I'm gonna get ya) I'm gonna get ya

You better believe I'm gonna get'cha

Don't ignore what I tell ya

Hear every word I say

There's not a power in this world

That'll move me away from you

So you might as well give up

And tell me you'll be mine

'Cause I'm determined to get ya

It's just a matter of time

Running away sure ain't gonna help you

(I'm gonna get ya) I'm gonna get'cha

You better believe what I tell ya, I said

Running away sure ain't gonna help you

(I'm gonna get ya) I'm gonna get ya

Better believe I'm gonna get'cha

(I said) running away sure ain't gonna help you

(I'm gonna get ya) I'm gonna get'cha

(Believe me) girl, I'm gonna get ya

Running away sure ain't gonna help you

(I'm gonna get ya) I'm gonna get ya
