"The Runner" lyrics - BANANARAMA

How many times have I felt down inside
The need to be loved by you
I wanted to show you how good it could be
If you would only show a little interest in me

[Chorus:]
But you run, you just won't show love
That's the thing you're frightened of
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...

You carne into my life and tuned my head around
And just as quickly you put me down
Now you don't wanna know what I'm going through
'Cause just like I said, it means nothing to you

[Chorus]

I've got this need eating away at my soul
An insurmountable need that I just can't control
You created this fire, when the flame got too hot
You turned and walked away, just leaving me on the spot

[Chorus]

There's little hope but the fool that I am
Still holding on to this dream of a man
The taste of his skin, the gentle touch of his hand
It's worth waiting for, so I must understand

[Chorus 2x]
