I can listen to your plans
I can look you in the eye
If I don't always understand
I can promise you I'll try

The way you leave me here alone
And give a kiss before you go
I will beg and I will moan
But there is one thing you should know:

I will run
If you open up the door
If you let me go outside
I will run away

I can curl up at your feet
Let you hold me in your arms
I can protect you while you sleep
Keep you company in the car

Find that spot behind my ear
I will kick and I will dance
I will love you while I'm here
But if just given the chance

I will run
If you open up the door
If you let me go outside
I will run away
I will run
If you open up the door
If you let me go outside
I will run away
