[Verse 1]
Another friday night
You call me up on the telephone
I try to tell you you're too good for him
I guess after all this time
Falling for you was inevitable
Right now, I'm worried 'bout the state you're in

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you want to go home
Baby, I'll be your chaperone
If you want to go home
I'll go back to my bed alone

[Chorus]
But would you run away
If I told you I loved you?
Would you run away
If I told you I cared?
And I just want to be more than your friend
Would you run away
If I told you how I feel?

[Verse 2]
I don't know if you remember
That night in the bar, I was looking at you
Desperately trying to work out where I stand
I know right now, you need
Someone like me, not another lover
But when you're ready for me, here I am
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you want to go home
Baby, I'll be your chaperone
If you want to go home
I'll go back to my bed alone

[Chorus]
But would you run away
If I told you I loved you?
Would you run away
If I told you I cared?
And I just want to be more than your friend
Would you run away
If I told you how I feel?

[Outro]
Would you run away?
Would you run away?
Don't you run away
