Runaway Baby Lyrics

Well looky here looky here ah what do we have?
Another pretty thing ready for me to grab
But little does she know that I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing
'Cause at the end of the night it is her I'll be holding

I love you so
That's what you'll say
You'll tell me baby, baby please don't go away
But when I play, I never stay
To every girl that I meet here, this is what I'll say

Run run runaway, runaway baby
Before I put my spell on you
You better get get getaway, getaway darling
'Cause everything you heard is true

You poor little heart will end up alone
'Cause lord knows I'm a rolling stone
So you better run run runaway, runaway baby
Uh, ah yeah

Well let me think, let me think, ah what should I do?
So many eager young bunnies that I'd like to pursue
Now even though they're eating out the palm of my hand
There's only one carrot and they all gotta share it

I love you so
That's what you'll say
You'll tell me baby, baby please don't go away
But when I play, I never stay
To every girl that I meet here, this is what I'll say

Run run runaway, runaway baby
Before I put my spell on you
You better get get getaway, getaway darling
'Cause everything you heard is true

You poor little heart will end up alone
'Cause lord knows I'm a rolling stone
So you better run run runaway, runaway baby
Uh, check it out

See I ain't tryna hurt you baby
No no no I just want to work you baby
See I ain't tryna hurt you baby
No no no I just want to work you baby

If you are scared, you better run (you better run)
You better run, (you better run)
You better run, (you better run)
You better, you better, you better

Run run runaway, runaway baby
Before I put my spell on you
You better get get getaway, getaway darling
'Cause everything you heard is true

You poor little heart will end up alone
'Cause lord knows I'm a rolling stone
So you better run run runaway, runaway baby

What is the Meaning of Runaway Baby?

This track is a playful warning from the perspective of a charming, yet non-committal man. The protagonist confesses his irresistible allure and his inability to stay faithful to one woman. He cautions women against falling for him, as he likens himself to a 'wolf in sheep's clothing' and a 'rolling stone', implying his predatory nature and restless spirit. Despite promising love, he admits that he never stays with one person for long. The repeated chorus "run run runaway, runaway baby" is both an admission of his own flaws and a warning to potential lovers about the heartbreak they might endure if they choose to engage with him.
