That Little
Tin Box

FootPath Music / APRA
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.
