"Runaway"

On the street where you live girls

Talk about their social lives

They're made of lipstick, plastic, and paint

A touch of sable in their eyes

(All your life) all your life all you've asked

When's your daddy gonna talk to you

But you were living in another world

Tryin' to get your message through

No one heard a single word you said

They should have seen it in your eyes

What was going around your head

Oh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

All those things he couldn't say

Oh, she's a little runaway

Take a line every night

Guaranteed to blow your mind

I see you out on the streets

Calling for a wild time

So you sit home alone

Cause there's nothing left that you can do

There's only pictures hung in the shadows

Left there to look at you

You know she likes the lights at nights

On the neon broadway signs

She don't really mind

It's only love she hoped to find

Oh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

All those things he couldn't say

Oh, she's a little runaway

No one heard a single word you said

They should have seen it in your eyes

What was going around your head

Oh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

All those things he couldn't say

Oh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

Now she works the night away

Oh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

All those things he couldn't say

Oh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

Now she works the night away
