[Verse 1]
We know they're right when they say we're not ready
But all we care is how we feel right now
We'll go ahead just the same
Prepare to take the blame

[Refrain]
We'll run away and get married anyhow

[Verse 2]
They warned us that we can't live on love forever
But we just tell them we'll get by somehow
Our problems will be greater
We'll worry about them later

[Refrain]
We'll run away and get married anyhow

[Bridge]
If other kids went through it
Then I know we can do it
If our love is that much stronger
It will last that much longer

[Verse 3]
It wasn't too long ago when our folks were
Were going through the same thing we are now
But one thing they're forgetting
A thing they're not regretting
[Outro]
They ran away and got married anyhow
(Ran away and got married)
Anyhow
(Ran away and got married)
They ran away and got married anyhow
