|
Did you cry when they dragged you home? |
|
Put a lock on the door and the telephone |
|
Was a runaway girl all they could see? |
|
Have the nights and the days that you've come through |
|
Made the right seem wrong and the false seem true |
|
Was a runaway girl all they could see? |
|
A teenage extra from the satellite TV |
|
Runaway girl |
|
Too bad, too bad |
|
Runaway girl |
|
Too wild, too wild |
|
Were they deaf to the prayer behind your lies? |
|
Maybe they didn't dare to ask you why |
|
Was a runaway girl all they chose to see? |
|
All they were prepared to admit to |
|
Runaway girl |
|
Too bad, too bad |
|
Runaway girl |
|
A real wild child |
|
So you cower in the towns forgotten places |
|
And you make your bed with unfamiliar faces |
|
And at last you've got your freedom but that's all you've got |
|
You're tryin' to make your mind up if you're better off |
|
You pretend to wait for washing in some Laundromat |
|
But you're damned if you'll give them the satisfaction of you going back |
|
You'd freeze to death before you'd share a roof with them |
|
And you'd starve before you'd let him get his hands on you again |
|
Did you cry when they dragged you home? |
|
Did you cry when they dragged you home? |
|
Poor little runaway, poor little runaway |
