[Verse 1]
She just don't know where she's at
She want to buy or build her own flat
She's never had a home of her own
She rarely even uses the phone
I don't want to be cheap and nasty
I don't want to be hasty and crafty
I just want you to be yourself
'Cause tonight, tonight, I need some help

[Chorus 1]
I got a runaway girl on my mind
Give me runaway girls all the time

[Verse 2]
She's headed for those big bright lights
Used on the way, but that's alright
Seems like there's things you gotta sacrifice
To get where you want to go
Won't always be those motel keys
Won't always be them broken dreams
That runaway girl left behind with stars in her eyes
She's of a certain kind

[Chorus 1]
She's my runaway girl on my mind
Give me runaway girls all the time
She's my runaway girl, far behind
Give me runaway girls all the time, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Time, yeah, yeah
Time, yeah, yeah
All the time
Runaway, runaway

[Bridge]
It's alright (It's alright)
Do right (Do right)
You will be mine
Alright (Alright)
Do right (Do right)
You will be mine

[Chorus 2]
Girl (You will be mine, you will be mine, alright)
Girl (Don't you know, you're my runaway)
Girl (She's my little runaway)
Girl (You will be my little runaway)

[Outro]
Oh, she's my runaway girl (Runaway girl on my mind)
Give me runaway girls all the time, time, time (Runaway, runaway)
Runaway girls all the time (She's my little, little runaway)
Runaway girls all the time (Oh, she's my runaway girl)
(She's my runaway) Girl (Runaway, runaway, runaway)
(Give me my little runaway, give me my little runaway) Girl
She's my runaway girl
