Lyrics The Runner - Bananarama

The Runner

How many times have I felt down inside
The need to be loved by you?
I wanted to show you how good it could be
If you would only show a little interest in me
But you run, you just won’t show love
That’s the thing you’re frightened of
You came into my life and turned my head around
And just as quickly you put me down
Now you don’t wanna know what I’m going through
'Cause just like I said it means nothing to you
So you run, you just won’t show love
That’s the thing you’re frightened of
I’ve got this need eating away at my soul
An insurmountable need that I just can’t control
You created this fire when the flame got too hot
You turned and walked away just leaving me on the spot
Yes, you run, you just won’t show love
That’s the thing you’re frightened of
There’s little hope but the fool that I am
Still holding on to this dream of a man
The taste of his skin, the gentle touch of his hand
Is worth waiting for, so I must understand
Yes, you run, you just won’t show love
That’s the thing you’re frightened of
Yes, you run, you just won’t show love
That’s the thing you’re frightened of
