Girl i wanna be good to you,
I never wanna do you no harm,
I'm caught up in this fascination,
Helping with your alarms,
Ignore life if you want to babe,
Do what you've got to do,
I need some time in the countryside,
I wanna feel so brand new,
You make me runaway,
You make me runaway,
You make me runaway ,angel
You make me runaway,
I see your name on the walls again,
I painted you on my toes,
Celebrate the resuscitate,
We drink to ourselves,
You collect lovers like gem stones,
You talk of them as your friends,
Dangle me from your wrist chain,
Another one lost to the winds of change,
You make me runaway,
You make me runaway,
You make me runaway, baby
You make me runaway,
Still i try to be good to you,
You'll always be my friend,
I need some time to define my mind,
I wanna be someone new,
Why don't we runaway,
Why don't we runaway,
Why don't we runaway,angel
I wanna runaway
