Runaround babe
I'm only losing my mind
Runaround babe
Don't try to be
Something you weren't meant to be
If you are not loving me
I'll know it's because
You want to be free
Oh, oh, runaround babe
Oh, oh, runaround babe
When we were young
We left our worries behind
When we were young
Left not to be
The worry is back on me
And it's not hard to see
That that's the way it has to be
Oh, oh, runaround babe
Oh, oh, runaround babe
Runaround babe
I'm only losing my mind
Runaround babe
Don't try to be
Something you weren't meant to be
If you are not loving me
I'll know it's because
You want to be free
Oh, oh, runaround babe
Oh, oh, runaround babe
[1966 demo version - new last verse]
Runaround babe
I'm only losing my mind
Runaround babe
Don't try to be
Something you weren't meant to be
If you're not loving me
I'll know it's because
You want to be free
Oh, oh, runaround babe
Oh, oh, runaround babe
When we were young
We left our worries behind
When we were young
Left not to be
The worry is back on me
And it's not hard to see
That's the way it has to be
Oh, oh, runaround babe
Oh, oh, runaround babe
Don't spend no time
Thinkin' about me
Don't spend no time
Just go and do
What you were meant to do
And when you're feeling blue
Remember I'm always thinking of you
Oh, oh, Runaround babe
Oh, oh, Runaround babe
