Hey baby, I'm aware of the way you feel Caught between a rock and a raw deal I know it makes you wanna turn and run That ain't no solution
Hey mama, it's so cold up against the wall Old lover's cut has left a dark scar No bleedin' by the saber or the pin Our love is the reason for livin'
It's a chance of a lifetime And we may never get it back, no
Oh, oh don't run, run, run away No, no, don't let it be a one way love Oh, oh don't run, run, run away No, I don't want it that way
White sister with the dime a dozen eyes Cold mister cut you down to size Don't you throw away the key Be a lover - break it down - set it free
It's a chance of a lifetime And we may never get it back, no
Oh, oh don't run, run, run away No, no, don't let it be a one way love Oh, oh don't run, run, run away No, don't let it be a one way love Oh, oh don't run, run, run away No, I don't want it that way
I see you run from the weight of the world Still you smile and pretend I see it breakin' the heart of a young girl, never again
(Solo)
Don't take it the wrong way baby Don't you try and run away I don't want a one way love
