As I walk alone I wonder
What went wrong with our love?
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young
I'm a-walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
I'm wishing you were here by me
To end this missery
And I wonder
I wo-wo-wo-wo-wonder
Why?
Wa-wa-wa-wa-why she ran away?
And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
Ra-ra-ra-ra-runaway
As I walk alone I wonder
What went wrong with our love?
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young
I'm a-walking in the rain
Tears are falling an I feel the pain
I'm wishing you were here by me
To end this missery
And I wonder
I wo-wo-wo-wo-wonder
Why?
Wa-wa-wa-wa-why she ran away?
And I wonder
Where she will stay?
My little runaway
I'm walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
I'm wishing you were here by me
To end this whole missery
And I wonder
I wo-wo-wo-wo-wonder
Why?
Wa-wa-wa-wa-why she ran away?
And I wonder
Where she will stay
Runaway
Ra-ra-ra-ra-runaway
Runaway
My little Runaway
Uuh
Ma-ma-my runaway
My runaway
