The Runner (Steps Platinum Version)

[Verse 1: Faye, H & Lisa]

How many times have I felt down inside

The need to be loved by you?

I wanted to show you how good it could be

If you would only show a little interest in me

You came into my life and turned my head around

And just as quickly you put me down

But you don't want to know what I'm going through

'Cause just like I said, it means nothing to you

[Chorus: All]

But you run, you just won't show love

That's the thing you're frightened of

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2: Lee, Lisa & Faye]

I've got this need eating away at my soul

An insurmountable need that I just can't control

You created this fire, but the flame got too hot

You turned and walked away just leaving me on the spot

Yet even now as I stand alonе

I cling on to hope with every ring of thе phone

This love I crave ain't doing me no good

I need to shut it down

Boy if only I could

So you run, you just won't show love

That's the thing you're frightened of

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

There's little hope but the fool that I am

Still holding on to this dream of a man

The taste of his skin, the gentle touch of his hand

Is worth waiting for, so I must understand

Yes you run, you just won't show love

That's the thing you're frightened of

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You're a runner!

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Won't show your love
