Lyrics

BABY DONTCHA RUN

VERSE

You are- the one I've waited for
But somehow you don't understand
Tell me what I can do-tell me how can I love you
When you run-you've been hurt-but I am not that one
Your love for me-it flows from you
Don't walk away- just look at me


CHORUS

BABY DONTCHA RUN
No, dontcha run, no, my patience is wearing thin
BABY DONTCHA RUN
Now you see me, now you don't-I ain't livin' through that again
BABY DONTCHA RUN
No, dontcha run, the words you'll regret are the ones that you never did say
Don't you run- no

VERSE

Now I- try to sleep at night, you know you're always on my mind
And though I try to escape, but there just ain't no place
I can hide-'cause I know, somehow you're gonna find
Your way inside for a little while
You make me wanna believe

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE

You say you'll call so I wait for you
A man's word is sacred did you forget that too
You say I make you feel chastised
But you over-think this, over-analyze
I'm putting my heart on the line for you
Your silence, like a knife, cuts my heart in two
You tell me that you're scared of me
Well, if that's true-how can I love you, when you run

(REPEAT CHORUS, AD LIB )
