Vs 1

If you were to run to me IÕd tell you where to go.

Because IÕve had enough of you, tellinÕ me those lies.

ThereÕs no use in turninÕ on those, long runninÕ tears

Crocodile tears wonÕt make me change my mind

 

Chorus

YouÕd better run away from me, little girl.

IÕm gonna walk away from you, this time.

WeÕve takinÕ this thing, way too far.

You better run away from me.

 

Vs 2

I gave you the key to my, little tin box.

That thing in my chest that I call my heart

But you turned around and left it out standing tin the rain.

Oh ainÕt no good to anyone no more.

 

Repeat Chorus

YouÕd better run away from me, little girl.

IÕm gonna walk away from you, this time.

WeÕve takinÕ this thing, way too far.

You better run away from me.

 

Vs 3

And so itÕs time for us to say goodbye,

IÕm gonna catch the 8:34 and head on down the line

And if you think you oughta chase me, youÕd better not,

IÕm meanest when IÕm nicest donÕt you know?

 

Repeat Chorus

YouÕd better run away from me, little girl.

IÕm gonna walk away from you, this time.

WeÕve takinÕ this thing, way too far.

You better run away from me.

 

IÕm gonna walk from you.

WeÕve takinÕ this thing way too far.
