The Four Tops — You Keep Running Away

[Chorus] You keep running away Though I beg you not to leave Still, you won't stay Darlin', you keep running away Tearin' my heart apart every step of the way [Verse 1] You're here today and gone tomorrow Leavin' this heart of mine in sorrow Now, you come around every now and then Long enough to hurt me, then you're gone again [Chorus] Darlin' you, you keep running away Though I begged you not to leave, you never stay Now you, you keep running away Leavin' me here to face another lonely day [Verse 2] To you, all this is just a game Well, each time you play, girl, I feel the pain But I've got so much love for you I keep wanting you no matter what you do [Bridge] All I want to do is take care of you Everything I have in my life I will share with you This soul of mine has been possessed by you Darling, my heart has been obsessed with you Just look at me I'm not the man I used to be [Verse 3] I used to be proud I used to be strong But all of that's changed, girl Since you come along Your lovin' sweetness Is my weakness Though I need you, dear I just can't keep you near [Chorus] 'Cause you, you keep running away Though I begged you not to leave, you never stay Now you, you keep running away Tearin' my world apart each step of the way [Verse 4] Each, each time you go, the hurt comes callin' My days become nights, darlin' My nights become so much longer You're in my life, you're in my heart But I can't get you Get you into my arms [Outro] Darling, you, you keep runnin' away Darling, you just keep runnin' away You keep runnin' away
