Runaway Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I walk along, I wonder
What went wrong with our love
Our love that was so strong

And as I still walk by
I think off the times we've had together
While our hearts were young

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a-walking in the rain
Hear it falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery

[Chorus]
And I wonder
(I, I, I, I wonder)
Yo, baby
Why?
(Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?)

[Verse 2]
You went away
And I wonder where you will stay
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway
[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
You went away and I wonder where you will stay
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
