The Runaway

Six o'clock on friday
You thought you heard a little voice try to say
Time is running out
So why you looking out
For yourself
Later on that sunday
You're looking for a little bit of leeway
You say I'll give it a try but
I don't got the time for you now
I tried to figure you out
I tried to figure you out
There's just no telling why
Why you wanna run away?
I think maybe you should stay right here
And maybe you'll appreciate
All that he's done for you
Everything he has for you
It's all you wanted
Nine a.m. On monday
You hear a little voice again try to say
What's it gonna take
How am I gonna break you down
You say it was bad day
Maybe it was just a bad mistake
Don't give up and quit
Make the best of it
Right now
I tried to figure you out
I tried to figure you out
There's just no telling why
Why you wanna run away?
I think maybe you should stay right here
And maybe you'll appreciate
All that he's done for you
Everything he has for you
It's all you wanted
It's all you ever wanted.
I tried to figure you out
I tried to figure you out
There's just no telling why
Why you wanna run away?
I think maybe you should stay right here
And maybe you'll appreciate
All that he's done for you
Everything he has for you
It's all you wanted
