Lyrics The Runner - The Three Degrees, Valerie, Cynthia

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 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You came into my life and turned my head around
And just as quickly you put me down
Now you don’t want to 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 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I got this need eating away at my soul
An insurmountable need that I just can’t control
You created this fire, but 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 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
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 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
He’s a runner, he’s a runner
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Runaway… Runaway
Runaway… He’s a Runner… Just Runaway
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
