The Runner - Paul Mauriat, The Three Degrees

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
