Runaway Lyrics

Artist: Jefferson Starship
Album: Runaway

You don't know how much I love you
But I love you like the sun
I'd like to put my arms around you
And we could run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway
If you knew how much I miss you
Oh I miss you more each day
I'd really like to come and see you
And we could run run run runaway
Run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway
Sun is comin' and it's getting warmer
Tell me spring is just around the corner
I'm sitting watchin' all of the flowers
Birds are singin' getting louder and louder
And here I am missin' you
Here I go I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm wantin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm needing you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm loving you
Run run run run runnin'
Run run run run runaway

And if you knew how much I need you
Oh and I need you like the air
If someone should take you from me
I would run run run runaway
I'd run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway
Sun is comin' and it's getting warmer
Tell me spring is just around the corner
I'm sitting watchin' all of the flowers
Birds are singin' getting louder and louder
And here I am missin' you
Here I go I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm wantin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm needing you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm loving you
Run run run run runnin'
Run run run run runaway

Oh now you don't know how much I love you
But I love you like the sun
I'd like to put my arms around you
We could run run run runaway
Come on baby
Let's run run run runaway
Come on baby
Let's run run run runaway
You don't know how much I want to
Run run run runaway
You don't know how much I need to
Run run run runaway
You don't know how much I love to
Run run run runaway
You don't know how much I'd love to
Run run run runaway
Really like to come and see you
Run run run runaway

beautiful song... you can miss someone even when you're with them every day, and wish you could run away with them somewhere where you could be together all the time

Oh my God! Run away! run away!
I can't stress it enough! Run, run, run, Run Away!

I love this song!! it's bittersweet for me because it makes me think back to 1978 when my son was born and my dad dying.

by Rain on 3/1/2010 12:06pm
Yeah... Debbie that is sad, reminds me of something I read: There are 2 kinds of Change, 1 when things come together and 2 when things come apart.... makes me wonder how much your Son is like your Dad... This song to me sounds like a Bittersweet song because... seems like he Has what he wants and then wants more. Sounds like Stillness is the best thing here... Blessings, Rain

Hits home for my man who is a long way away from me and I miss him so very, very much.

Great, and I mean GREAT music from a great band.

when you loose someone you really love and think you can move on, its songs like this that make me think that love is not something that you can loose or change.Its infinite and does not come from the finite self.
I really miss her.

Awesome tune, reminds me of summer 1978, I was 10 years old. I recall liking this song on the radio. Listen to that 1970's Hammond organ bubble in the background when he sings "Here I go, I'm lovin' you". Awesome memories.
