The Runner
How many times have I felt down inside
The need to be loved by you?
I wanted to show you how good it could be
If you would only show a little interest in me!
That's the thing you're frightened of!
Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh!
(He's a runner!)
You came into my life and tuned my head around
And, just as quickly, you put me down;
Now you don't want to know what I'm going through
'Cause, just like I said, it means nothing to you.
That's the thing you're frightened of!
Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh!
(He's a runner!)
[Instrumental]
Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh!
Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh!
I've got this need eating away at my soul;
An insurmountable need that I just can't control!
You created this fire: when the flame got too hot,
You turned and walked away, just leaving me on the spot!
That's the thing you're frightened of!
Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh!
[Instrumental]
Oooooh...
Oooooh...
There's little hope, but the fool that I am
Is still holding on to this dream of a man.
The taste of his skin, the gentle touch of his hand
Is what I'm waiting for, so I must understand...
That's the thing you're frightened of!
Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh!
(He's a runner!
He's a runner!)
Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh!
Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh!
(Running away!
Running away!
He's a runner!
He's running away!)
Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh!
Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh!
