Lyric discussion by Bochini 27 

Cover art for Runnin' Away lyrics by Sly and the Family Stone

I think it's about someone with depression, one that keeps avoiding troubles and keeps making the same mistakes and has lost grip with reality. That's why the woman says "look at you fooling you", but the one the song is about can't see, is about an unhealty person. That or maybe about something else. A great song i think.
