He's a runner, and he'll run away - Soon there'll be no man...
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay;
Woman, get away while you can...
He's a runner...
He's a runner, and he'll run away with the midnight train;
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Come the judgment day, come the rain...
He's a runner...
There'll come the running - He'll know he's got to;
Don't ask him not to, or "Why, oh why?
Why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow? Now I'm in chains till I die..."
He's a runner, and he'll run away - Soon there'll be no man...
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay;
Woman, get away while you can...
He's a runner, he's a runner, and he's got to run
He's got to run away...
He's a runner...
