Hey, baby, where you going
Now wait a minute
You can`t leave now

Now we been through this before
And I`m tired, that`s right
Sick and tired of the
Same old thing over and over

(CHORUS)
You`re a runaway love
You`re a runaway love
You`re a runaway love
You`re a runaway love

You`re slick here
Playing with my feelings
You keep messing round
Playing with my heart

I find the things that you say
They don`t have no meaning
And that is why I know
We`re gonna have to part

(CHORUS)

Oh, stop playing with my heart
If you don`t mean it
And stop playing with my love
If you don`t care

Don`t go around making jokes
Bout how you`re using me
Cause I ain`t got no
Heartaches to spare

You`re a runaway love
You`re a runaway love
(Just-a keep on running away
Run away, run away)
You`re a runaway love
(Running, running, running)
You`re a runaway love

Don`t come around
Holding me and kissing me
Talking all that jive
And getting my feelings up

If you`re leaving me and running
Off to someone else`s arms
Breaking up my heart and soul
And leaving me stuck

With all my tears
Heartaches and emotions
I`m all hung up with
Love and devotions

So stop messing with my heart
If you don`t mean it
And stop messing with my love
If you don`t care

Don`t come here
Talking bout loving, no
You are using me
Cause I ain`t got no
Heartaches to spare

You`re a runaway love
(Just a-running, just a-running
In and out of my life)
You`re a runaway love
(Where you gonna
Run to this time, baby)

You`re a runaway love
(You can go if you want to
You can go, you can go)
You`re a runaway love
(Don`t come back next time)

Ow, get down, uh huh
Yeah, shake it
Uh huh, do your thing
Don`t you feel it
Don`t you feel it
Yeah, yeah...

Don`t come around
Holding me and kissing me
Talking all that jive
And getting my feelings up

Then leaving me and running
Off to someone else`s arms
Breaking up my heart and soul
And leaving me stuck

With all my tears
My heartaches and emotions
I`m all hung up with
Love and devotions

So stop messing with my heart
If you don`t mean it
Hey, stop messing with my love
If you don`t care

Don`t come here
Talking bout love and
You know you`re using me
Baby, I ain`t got no
Heartaches to spare

You`re a runaway love
(Just a-running, just a-running
In and out of my life)
You`re a runaway love
(Just a-running, keep on running
Run away from love)

You`re a runaway love
(Just a-running, you keep running
(Where you going
(Where, where you going)
You`re a runaway love
(Just a-running, just a-running)

Come here, no
Don`t start that over again
You wanna leave
You go ahead and leave

It ain`t gonna bother me no more
Cause I`m going out
And I`m gonna get down

I`m tired of sitting here
And waiting for you to come home
And you out someplace
With somebody else
I`m gonna go out
And find me somebody

Yeah, gonna go dancing
Gonna go dancing, hey
I can still do it, you know
You ain`t gotta be here
For me to be doing this

Yeah, go ahead
And run if you want to
Go ahead, like I said
You ain`t go to stay
