Running Shoes

Darling, don't be so sad

I don't want to be the reason

I just want to change your mind

and tell you so

Darling, you don't run fast

but each time I get close

You start running and I

just don't want it so

 

Don't make me the reason

you put on your running shoes

and run, run, run, runaway from me

Don't make this an issue

that you have to put on your shoes

and run, run, run, runaway from me

Don't make me a reason to start

running

 

Darling, don't be angry

I don't want to be the why

I just want to help you up

and stand by you

Darling, you get so sad

each time I get close

You want to get away from me

oh, but what did I do to you?

 

Don't make me the reason

you put on your running shoes

and run, run, run, runaway from me

Don't make this an issue

that you have to put on your shoes

and run, run, run, runaway from me

Don't make me a reason to start

running

 

Darling, I'm sorry if I make you scared

Darling, I'm sorry if you think I don't care

Just let me tell you, tell you how

much I could love you right now

Don't be sad, or angry, just let me

show you before you are running

I don't know how to keep you here

when you're putting on those shoes, dear

 

Don't make me the reason

you put on your running shoes

and run, run, run, runaway from me

Don't make this an issue

that you have to put on your shoes

and run, run, run, runaway from me

Don't make me a reason to start

running

 

Darling, please don't keep running
