Runaway Babe

[Verse] Curly blonde hair Big brown eyes That shine like the stars Her favorite game Was making you laugh And you could always see her heart But then she grew up [Chorus] First time she ran away Well, she got caught lyin' She was back in ten minutes Standin' at the front door cryin' It's easier to stay And get back up again Than to run away, babe, run away Runaway babe [Verse] Sixteen years old Jumpin' on the bed The first night that he called He was charming and wonderful Like a fairy tale movie She new he had it all But then he screwed up [Chorus] Next time she ran away Well, she caught him lyin' She couldn't ease the pain Or keep herself from cryin' Is it easier to stay And get back up again Than to run away, babe, run away? Runaway babe [Bridge] Sometimes in life we get knocked down The plans we make just don't work out As I get older now I see This happiness is up to me Yeah! [Chorus] Next time I ran away It was the last time I'm cryin' I picked myself up And never stopped tryin' Cause it's easier to stay And seize every day Than to run away, babe, run away I won't be a runaway babe, run away Runaway babe [Outro] I'm not going to run away
