Smokey Robinson
Why Are You Running from My Love
[Chorus Intro]
Why are you running from my love
What could you think I'm thinking of
Why are you running from my love
What could you think I'm thinking of

[Verse 1]
Could it be love has played
A cruel game on you
Did you believe in dreams
That never did come true
Then someone caught your heart
To end your lonely nights
Whispering promises
That faded with the light

[Chorus]
Why are you running from my love
What could you think I'm thinking of
Why are you running from my love
What could you think I'm thinking of

[Verse 2]
Girl, I know what it's like
To watch my castles fall (My castles fall)
Thought I had love for sure
I had nothing at all
So I turned off my heart
Claimed that this was the end (This was the end)
But now that you're in my life
I want to love again
[Chorus]
Why are you running from my love
What could you think I'm thinking of
Why are you running from my love
What could you think I'm thinking of

[Bridge]
We've both known pain
Let's now know joy
Don't let our sorrows
Ruin our tomorrows now

[Chorus]
Why are you running from my love
What could you think I'm thinking of, thinking of
Why are you running
What could you think I'm thinking of

[Guitar Solo]
Why, why, why, why, why
Why are you running from my love

You know you're out
Stopping me to count on time, ooh, baby
You know you're out
Stopping me to count on time, ooh, baby
[Outro]
Why, oh, why, oh
(Why are you running)
Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, why
(Why are you running)
I wanna love again
I wanna love again, I wanna love again
(Why are you running)
I wanna again
(Why are you running)
Why, oh, why, oh
Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, why...
