Runaway Lyrics
A what went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
I think of the thing's we've done
Together, while our hearts were young
Tears are fallin' and I feel a pain
A wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
Why a why why why why why
She ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
My run run run run runaway
Tears are fallin' and I feel a pain
A wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
Why a why why why why why
She ran awayway
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
A run run run run
Runaway
A run run run run runaway
my dad played this song to me from a very early age and I never really liked it - then I discovered it for myself and found it to be really quite good.
the meaning of it is pretty obvious :p
I think it's about a stalker. Mebbe.
There's an excellent review of it on the AV Club.

This is just a great song! Totally love it!
this is just a motherfuckin legend, great, always play it at carshows, sets the mood right, legend song indeed
my favorite oldies tune...
just sounds great ı like old songs..
a very early synth was used on this song.
this song is all about my cat which ran away in 1996 never to be seen again :(
Del shannon was such a great performer. His suicide was truly a loss to the music community. anyway, this is a great song and it's a shame more people haven't commented on it!
