Lyrics
Runaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint
A touch of sable in their eyes
(All your life) all your life all you've asked
When's your daddy gonna talk to you
But you was livin' in another world
Tryin' to get your message through
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was goin' around your head
Oh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things she couldn't say
Oh, she's a little runaway
Take a line every night
Guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets
Callin' for a wild time
So you sit home alone
Cause there's nothin' left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows
Left there to look at you
You know she likes the lights at nights
On the neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind
It's only love she hoped to find
Oh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things she couldn't say
Oh, she's a little runaway
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes (seen it in your eyes)
What was goin' around your head
Oh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things she couldn't say
Oh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away
Oh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things she couldn't say
Oh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away
Oh, she's a little runaway
