lyrics

I won’t ride in your car cuz I know you’re no good
In your arms is no place for me now
I would stare at your lips but I don’t think I should
I once died for their taste and your smile

I would reach for your fingers but the sting is too great
Though their heat is only blood through cold hands
Then you whisper my name and your breath
Wets my face
And my soul belongs to you for one more dance

And I tried to run away from you
(To run away from you)
It was hard to do

And romance is but a game for you
(I run away from you)
And though I’ve played it too

I run away from you
I run away from you

All my life I’ve waited just to find someone
Who’d be true and love me 'til my dying days
('Til I go away, you would never stay)

Through the years we’ve fallin’ in and out of love
In my heart I know that you’re the only one
(The moon and the sun)

I run away from you
I run away from you

I won’t ride in your car cuz I know you’re no good
In your arms is no place for me now
I would stare at your lips but I don’t think I should
I once died for their taste and your smile

Oh, oh
I'd reach for your fingers but the sting is too great
Though their heat is only blood through cold hands
Then you whisper my name and your breath
Wets my face
And my soul belongs to you for one more dance

And I tried to run away from you
(To run away from you)
It was hard to do

And romance is but a game for you
(I run away from you)
And though I’ve played it too

I run away from you
I run away from you

Mom and dad said I’m so lucky
All my friends say that you’re my type
Read the paper, tells a story
Boy meets girl and it works out right
Yeah, yeah

Mom and dad said I’m so lucky
All my friends say that you’re my type
Read the paper, tells a story
Boy meets girl and it works out right
Yeah, yeah
