Running Girl     

Copyright © 2004 words and music by Dean Batstone

I would never forsake you, but if you’re walking, walk on

It’s not that I don’t need you, you know I’m not that strong

But have no fear, have no fear, I’m not afraid of alone

I’m more afraid that you might stay and just not love me anymore

Ch: I’m in love, I’m in love with a running girl

Yeah, I’m in love, I’m in love with a running girl

So ‘round and ‘round we dance until the circles close

The closer we get, baby, the more I step on your toes

A pocket full of pain, in vain I stand my ground

‘Cause baby, when you dance, we all fall down

[yeah, but I’ll stick around, ‘cause you see…]

Ch:

Bridge: To burn a candle at both ends you gotta be fast

You’ll get a real bright light, but it just don’t last

It just don’t last

Inst.

So if I let you go, would you come back to me

If something was never caught, I guess it can’t be set free

Time runs out on a running girl who runs too fast

And is it me you’re running from, or you, you see

I just had to ask [yeah, I had to ask ‘cause you see…]

Ch: 2X
