The Runner

The Runner (Remaster) - The Three Degrees

How many times have I felt down inside

The need to be loved by you

I wanted to show you how

Good it could be

If you would only show

A little interest in me

But you run you just won't show love

That's the thing you're frightened of

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

You came into my life and turned

My head around

And just as quickly you put me down

Now you don't want to know what

I'm going through

'Cause just like I said

It means nothing to you

So you run you just won't show love

That's the thing you're frightened of

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

There's little hope but the fool that I am

Still holding on to this dream of a man

The taste of his skin the gentle touch of his

Hand

Is worth waiting for so I must understand

Yes you run you just won't show love

That's the thing you're frightened of

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Oooooooo

Ooooooo

Oooooooo

I got this need eating away at my soul

An insurmountable need that

I just can't control

You created this fire

But the flame got too hot

You turned and walked away

Just leaving me on the spot

Yes you run you just won't show love

That's the thing you're frightened of

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

He's a runner

He's a runner

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
