Don’t Make Me Run Away Songtext
von Gladys Knight & the Pips

Oh, can′t you tell
That I'm unhappy?
Can′t you see it in my eyes?
I'm very lonely
And I need attention
But you just keep on passing me by

Oh, I got no direction, no affection
I feel we've lost that true love fire
I can′t keep living to just keep giving
You′d better take key, cause I'm ready to leave

Babe!, don′t make me run away
Darlin', come and find me
(Baby, don′t make me run away)
Stand beside me
(Baby, don't make me run away)
Oh, come and got me
(Baby, don′t make me run away)
I'd rather run exactly into your arms


I've given you
My full devotion as a lover and a friend
Through all your trouble
I was there beside you
Baby, with you to the end

(Too caught up in yourself)
To help somebody else
You got me reaching out for anybody
Baby, you′re my man
You should understand
Listen to my heart, cause we′re drifting apart

Babe!, don't make me run away
Darlin′, come and find me
(Baby, don't make me run away)
Oh, stand beside me
(Baby, don′t make me run away)
Let's get together
(Baby, don′t make me run away)
I'd rather run exactly into your arms

(Too caught up in yourself to help somebody else)
You got me reaching out for anybody
I can't keep living to just keep giving
You′d better take key, cause I′m ready to leave


Babe!, don't make me run away
Darlin′, come and find me
(Baby, don't make me run away)
Stand beside me, baby
(Baby, don′t make me run away)
Let's get together
(Baby, don′t make me run away)
I'd rather run exactly into your arms

(Don't make me run away)
Oh, baby
(Baby, don′t make me run away)
Stand beside me
(Baby, don′t make me run away)
Let's work together
(Baby, don′t make me run away)
I'd rather run exactly into your arms

(Baby, don′t make me run away)
(Baby, don't make me run away)
Stay right there beside me
(Baby, don′t make me run away)
Let's work together
(Baby, don't make me run away)
I′d rather run exactly into your arms

(Baby, don′t make me run away)
Don't make me, don′t make me wrong
(Baby, don't make me run away)
