Runaway Child, Running Wild

歌詞

You played hooky from school And you can't go out and play yeah Mama said for the rest of the week In your room you gotta' stay yeah Now you feel like The whole world's pickin' on you Temptations Now you feel like The whole world's pickin' on you But deep down inside You know ain't true You're on punishment 'Cause your mama wants to raise you the right way yeah But you don't care 'Cause you already made up your mind You wanna' run away yeah You're on your way Runaway child runnin' wild Runaway child runnin' wild You better go back home Better go back home Where you belong You're roamin' through the city Goin' nowhere fast You're on your own at last Hey it's getting late where will you sleep Gettin' kind of hungry You forgot to bring somethin' to eat Oh lost with no money You start to cry But remember you left home Wantin' to be grown So dry your weepin' eyes Sirens screaming down neon-lighted streets You want your mama All day lookin' for you You're frightened and confused I want my mama But she's much too far away She can't hear a word you say Run run run You heard some frightening news On the radio About little boys runnin' away from home And their parents don't see 'em no more You want to stop and hitch a ride I know But your mama told you never trust a stranger And you don't know which way to go he streets are dark and deserted Not a sound or sign of life huh Oh how you gonna' hear your mother's voice 'Cause your lost and alone But remember you made this choice oh Runaway child runnin' wild You better go back home Where you belong Runaway child runnin' wild You better go back home Where you belong Your lost in this great big city You better go back home Where you belong not one familiar face ain't it a pity Go back home where you belong Oh runaway child runnin' wild You better go back home Where you belong oh yeah Mama mama please come on see about me But she's much too far away She can't hear a word you say I want my mama Whoa you're frightened and confused Which way will you choose
