Laura Nyro - He's a Runner Lyrics

He's a runner
and he'll run away
soon there'll be no man
woman ain't be born
who can make him stay
woman get away while you can
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 runnin'
He'll know he's got to
don't ask him not to or why
Oh why oh 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 be 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 away
