[Chorus]
You keep running away
Though I beg you not to leave, still, you won't stay
Darlin', you keep running away
Tearin' my heart apart every step of the way

[Verse 1]
You're here today and gone tomorrow
Leavin' this heart of mine in sorrow
Now you come around every now and then
Long enough to hurt me, then you're gone again

[Chorus]
Darlin', you, you keep running away
Though I begged you not to leave, you never stay
Now you, you keep running away
Leavin' me here to face another lonely day

[Verse 2]
To you, all this is just a game
Well, each time you play, girl, I feel the pain
But I've got so much love for you
I keep wanting you no matter what you do

[Bridge]
All I want to do is take care of you
Everything I have in my life, I'll share with you
This soul of mine has been possessed by you
Darling, my heart has been obsessed with you
Just look at me
I'm not the man I used to be

[Verse 3]
I used to be proud, I used to be strong
But all of that's changed, girl, since you've come along
Your lovin' sweetness is my weakness
Though I need you, dear, I just can't keep you near

[Bridge]
You keep running away
You keep running away (You keep running away)
You keep running away
You keep running away (You keep running away)

[Verse 4]
Each time you go, the hurt comes callin'
My days become nights, darlin', my nights become so much longer
You're in my life, you're in my heart
But I can't get you, get you into my arms

[Outro]
But, darling, you, you keep runnin' away
Darling, you just keep runnin' away
