[Verse 1]
You pick up your coat, and you head for the door
Just like the time and the time before
Can you hide? Can you hide
From something deep inside?
You stumble around in the empty street
Tell me, who do you think you'll meet?
Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
You always run away from love
You always run away from love
Ooh, ahh

[Verse 2]
Your mom and your dad, bet they treat you so bad
They're the worst friends you ever had
Do you think people like that
Do you, do you think they know where it's at?
Come on, can you look ahead?
Not to what's already dead?
Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
You always run away from love
You always run away from love
Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
You always run away from love
You always run away from love
Ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh

[Outro]
Ooh, try and let it go
Ooh, let your feelings show
It's been such a long and lonely road
