Lyrics of 'The Runner' by Steps

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

But you run, you just won't show love
That's a thing you're frightened of
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I've got this need eating away at my soul
An insurmountable need that I just can't control
You created this fire when the flame got too hot
You turned and walked away just leaving me on the spot

But even now as I stand alone
I cling on to hopе with every ring of the phonе
" Cause love I crave ain't doing me no good
I need to shut it down
Boy you pull me, I could

So you run, you just won't show love
That's a thing you're frightened of
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-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 a thing you're frightened of
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You're a runner!
You're a runner!
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I should have run!
