He's A Runner Lyrics - First Songs - Laura Nyro

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
