I fell in love with a runaway, a little runaway girl
Each night she's all that I dream about
my little runaway girl
She used to make me glad
Now I'm sad & I feel so bad
Oh why must I always be waiting
for little runaway girl?

My friends all told me
I'm wastin' time with my runaway girl
How did I know it was just a line
from my runaway girl
She broke my heart in two
Now I'm blue; you'd be too
If you were in love with a runaway
my little runaway girl

Although she may not feel this love the way that I do
Each night & day I'll pray
that someday maybe she'll come through & then

I know I won't be a lonely boy
with my runaway girl
'Cause now I'll be more
than just a toy for my runaway girl
If she comes back to me
I'll be free, then you'll see
Oh, my heart will sing & be glad again
with my runaway girl
