Don't Run Too Far
Golden Earring · Originals [2003]
What you've been doing to me
I really don't understand, no no no
Though you treat anyone, anyone so bad
But what I want to say
I couldn't tear myself away
From your love'
Cause there is no one else
Than the lord above
But I need someone, someone
Who sometimes will make me feel fine
Don't run too far
Someday you'll feel sorry
Don't run too far
There's no time to hurry
Don't be foolish
And think before it's too late
And don't forget
I'm not the only man you'll hate
Now I know for sure
You're tiny or you want more
It's what I always said, no no no
Though you treat anyone, anyone so bad
The situation, in which I am
I have to miss you anyhow, mmm
But you don't really make me blue
I'm so in love with you
Don't run too far
Someday you will feel sorry
Don't run too far
There's no time to hurry
Don't be foolish
And think before it's too late
And don't forget
I'm not the only man you'll hate
