Runaway

I was just a poor young little ugly thing
 Momma kicked me out, just shy of 17
 I was lookin' for love, in the fire, in the flames
 But the only way to love, is to get yourself burned
 That's how I became the runaway
 I gave my hand to a man, he put the ring on me
 He couldn't understand why he wasn't just like me
 I should've known by the look in his eyes
 We looked at the same guys
 That's when I realized
 No hands will hold me
 I'll always be lonely
 Is there someone out there who can break
 This habit of going
 There's no way of knowing
 I promise I'll always be a little runaway
 Your little runaway
 If you're not careful, you'll get your heart broken
 Take me as an example, I'll be a token
 I used to fall head over feet
 But everyone I loved deceived me
 So, what choice does that leave?
 A runaway
 You could say my shadow is the only friend of mine
 But it gets pretty lonely in the nighttime
 My shadow is almost as hard to see, oh
 Almost as hard as it is to love me
 A runaway
 No hands will hold me
 I'll always be lonely
 Is there someone out there who can break
 This habit of going
 There's no way of knowing
 I promise I'll always be a little runaway
 I'll be a runaway
