Don't Make Me Run Away Songtext
von Gladys Knight & the Pips

Oh, can′t you tell that I'm unhappy?
Can′t you see it in my eyes?
I'm very lonely and I need attention
But you just keep on passin' me by, oh
I got no direction, no affection
Hey, I feel we′ve lost that true love fire
I can′t keep livin' to just keep givin′
You better take heed, 'cause I′m ready to leave
Baby, don't make me run away
Darlin′, come and find me
Baby, don't make me run away
Stand beside me
Baby, don't make me run away
Oh, come and guide me
Baby, don′t make me run away
I′d rather run smack into your arms
I've given you my full devotion
As a lover and as a friend
Through all your troubles, I was there beside you
Baby, with you to the end, oh


You′re caught up in yourself to help somebody else
You got me reachin' out for anybody
Baby, you′re my man, you should understand
Listen to my heart 'cause we′re drifting apart
Baby, don't make me run away
Darlin', come and find me, baby
Baby, don′t make me run away
Oh, baby, stand beside me, oh
Baby, don′t make me run away
Let's stay together
Baby, don′t make me run away
I'd rather run smack into your arms, oh
Oh, you′re caught up in yourself to help somebody else
You got me reachin' out for anybody
I can′t keep livin' to just keep givin'
You better take heed, ′cause I′m ready to leave
Baby, don't make me run away
Darlin′, come and find me, baby
Baby, don't make me run away
Stand beside me, baby
Baby, don′t make me run away
Let's stay together
Baby, don′t make me run away
I'd rather run smack into your arms
Don't make me run away
Ooh, baby
Baby, don′t make me run away
Stand beside me
Baby, don′t make me run away
Let's work together
Baby, don′t make me run away
I'd rather run smack into your arms
Don′t make me run away
Oh, oh, oh
Baby, don't make me run away
Stay right there beside me
Baby, don′t make me run away
Let's work together
Baby, don't make me run away
I′d rather run smack into your arms
Don′t make me run away
Don't make me, don′t make me run
Baby, don't make me run away
Darlin′, darlin', darlin′
