Lyrics
Runaways
[Chorus]
Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway
Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway
(Please come home)
Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway
(Please come home)
[Verse 1]
Daddy hit you in a temper
But he's sorry now
(Please come home)
Just a quarrel had with mummy
Just a family row
(Please come home)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You caught mum chasing dad with a knife
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
You ran away to escape from the fights
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
Now you're lost in a maze of neon light
And she's worried, he's worried
She's worried, oh
[Chorus]
Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway
(Please come home)
Oh run a, oh run a, oh runaway
(Please come home)
