Lyrics The Four Tops

The Four Tops

You Keep Running Away

You keep running away

You come back to me

But still you won't stay

Darlin' you keep running away

Tear my heart apart every step of the way

You're here today and gone tomorrow

Leave this heart of mine in sorrow

Then you come around every now and then

Long enough to hurt me then you're gone again

Darlin' you keep running away

Well I begged you not to leave but you never stay

Now you, you keep running away

Leavin' me here to face another lonely day

To you all of this is just a game

Well each time you leave I feel the pain

But I've got so much love for you

I keep wanting you no matter what you do

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 processed by you

Darling my heart has been obsessed with you

Just look at me

I'm not the man I used to be

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

Boy I need you dear

I just can't keep you near

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

Darlin', you keep runnin' away
