Mid-November morning
I'm running down the stairs
You've got me going crazy
Trying to catch up to you
If you're leaving me for good
I won't talk you back this time
You better make up
Your mind
If you're his or your mine
Won't you treat me like a good girl should?
You put a spell on me baby
You turned my body inside out
The summer's gone and the sugar too
I bet the little bird is heading south
Stop running away from my love
Runaway girl
Where you running from?
I'm a patient man but I've had enough
Won't you stop running away from my love?
Ahhh never trust a good thing if she's tasting much too sweet
That's what my mama used to warn me
Lord knows but your lovin's knocked me to my knees
You put a spell on me baby
You turned my body inside out
Now the summer's gone and the sugar too
I bet the little girl is heading south
Ohhh stop running away from my love
Runaway girl
Where you running from?
I'm a patient man but I've had enough
Won't you stop running away from my love?
I'm a fool for the chase baby
Oh yeah but someday you know I'm gonna slow down
Don't let my love go to waste babe
You're getting ready, ready for the showdown
You put a spell on me baby
You turned my body inside out
Now the summer's gone and the sugar too
Oh I bet the little girl is heading south
Ohhh yeah yeah stop running away from my love
Runaway girl
Where you running from?
I'm a patient man but I've had enough
You better stop running away from my love
Stop running away from my love
Runaway girl where you running from?
I'm a patient man but I've had enough
You better stop running away from my love
Stop running baby...
