"Runaway" lyrics

Made my bet
Now I must live with the consequence of loving you wrong
It must be said
I didn't think it would end like this
Come home one night to find you're gone

(Oh I) If only I listened
Instead of loving you my way
Wouldn't need to leave me in this pain
Hey
I'm in this position
'Cause I was too stubborn to change
I turned my baby
Into a runaway (uh, babe)

Runaway (oh)
And you're not coming back to me babe (you're not coming back, babe)
(Oh no) I made you a runaway (I know babe)
A runaway (uh, babe), a runaway (please)
And you're not coming back to me babe (please, call me back)
Oh, runaway (come on, babe)

We traced my steps
Trying to figure, where we went wrong (we're not going wrong baby)
Ain't a man supposed to work hard?
And provide? (oh, Lord)
What did you expect? (we're not gonna try so hard, babe)
I couldn't give you all of my time, baby
Now I wish I could try
But you're not by my side (uh)

If only I listened (I should've listened, baby)
Instead of loving you my way (my way, darling)
You wouldn't feel the need to leave me in this pain
Baby, this pain (oh, baby)

And now I'm in this position (oh, in this position, baby)
'Cause I was too stubborn to change (yeah, baby)
I turned my baby
Into a runaway (uh, runaway)

A runaway (runaway)
I know you're not coming back to me babe (runaway, uh, baby)
Runaway (runaway), runaway (please, baby, runaway)
Tell me, why did you run away? (runaway, come back home, baby)

Oh why, why
Why did you run away? (come back, baby)
Sorry, I turned you
Into a runaway (runaway)

I know you're not coming back (please, baby)
Nothing I say
Nothing you do is gonna bring us back, baby
Oh, runaway (runaway)
Runaway (come home, come home, come home, come home, uh)

Damn (baby)
