Runaway Boy

Written by Louise Goffin & Bill Olvis. 

I know babe, it's all right 
Go on, I'd never ask you to stay 
'Cause you run, you fight 
And I never had to live that way 

Runaway . . . 
Yeah, he gets on in the world 
Looking for a runaway girl 
I don't know what it is about the boy 
That makes me feel so fine 
But I wish the runaway boy was mine 

It's ok, it's all right 
You might find something around the next bend 
Yeah, you shine and you light 
The empty streets we all run in the end 

Runaway . . . 
Yeah, he gets on in the world 
Looking for a runaway girl 
I don't know what it is about the boy 
That makes me feel so fine 
But I wish the runaway boy was mine
