Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
(Tell me why, tell me why)
With everything you own in a little black case
The wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
(Tell me why, tell me why)
Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely girl
You were the one that they'd talk about
Around town as they put you down
And you try to make her cry
But you never ever cried to them, just to her soul
(Tell me why, tell me why)
