You Keep Running Away by The Four Tops Lyrics

[Chorus]
You keep running away
Though I beg you not to leave
Still, you won't stay
Darlin', you keep running away
Tearin' my heart apart every step of the way

[Verse 1]
You're here today and gone tomorrow
Leavin' this heart of mine in sorrow
Now, you come around every now and then
Long enough to hurt me, then you're gone again

[Chorus]
Darlin' you, you keep running away
Though I begged you not to leave, you never stay
Now you, you keep running away
Leavin' me here to face another lonely day

[Verse 2]
To you, all this is just a game
Well, each time you play, girl, I feel the pain
But I've got so much love for you
I keep wanting you no matter what you do
[Bridge]
All I want to do is take care of you
Everything I have in my life
I will share with you
This soul of mine has been possessed by you
Darling, my heart has been obsessed with you
Just look at me
I'm not the man I used to be

[Verse 3]
I used to be proud
I used to be strong
But all of that's changed, girl
Since you come along
Your lovin' sweetness
Is my weakness
Though I need you, dear
I just can't keep you near

[Chorus]
'Cause you, you keep running away
Though I begged you not to leave, you never stay
Now you, you keep running away
Tearin' my world apart each step of the way

[Verse 4]
Each, each time you go, the hurt comes callin'
My days become nights, darlin'
My nights become so much longer
You're in my life, you're in my heart
But I can't get you
Get you into my arms
[Outro]
Darling, you, you keep runnin' away
Darling, you just keep runnin' away
You keep runnin' away
