Running Away From Me Songtext
von Meat Loaf

I swallowed the world with my problems
Thought maybe a girl could solve ′em
Don't let anyone in, I′m stuck with these sins
I'm hoping maybe time can absolve 'em

I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed to run free
Well, that′s all through, thought I was runnin′ from you
Turns out I was runnin' from me

La, la-la-la-la, la
Runnin′ away from me
La, la-la-la-la, la
Runnin' from me

There′s a girl who lives on my street
She says the flowers take care of the bees
She says she'll bring me a shore ′cause daddy's at war
She's gonna take care of me


If history is violence and sex
I′d rather not pay my respects
If I′ve caused offense, I'm just trying to talk sense
Forgive me if I′m too direct
Or politically incorrect

La, la-la-la-la, la
Runnin' away from me
La, la-la-la-la, la
Runnin′ away from me

Turns out I was runnin' from me

I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed to run free
All that′s through, thought I was runnin' from you
Turns out I was runnin' from me
Turns out I was runnin′ from me


La, la-la-la-la, la
Runnin′ away from me
La, la-la-la-la, la
Runnin' away from me

Runnin′ away from me
Runnin' away from me
Runnin′ away from me
Runnin' away from me
