(Allan Rich / Jud Friedman)



I know that when you look at me

theres so much that you just dont see

but if you would only take the time

I know in my heart youd find

oh, a girl whos scared sometimes

who isnt always strong

Cant you see the hurt in me

I feel so all alone

I want to run to you

I want to run to you

Wont you hold me in your arms

and keep me safe from harm

I want to run to you

but if I come to you

tell me, will you stay or will you run away



Each day, each day I play the role

of someone always in control

but at night I go home and turn the key

Theres nobody there, no one cares for me

Whats the sense of trying hard

to find your dreams

without someone to share it with

Tell me what does it mean



I want to run to you

I want to run to you

Wont you hold me in your arms

and keep me safe from harm

I want to run to you

but if I come to you

tell me, will you stay or will you run away



Run away

No, I need you here

I need you here to wipe away my tears

to kiss away my fears

No, if you only knew how much



I want to run to you

And I want to run to you

Wont you hold me in your arms

keep me safe from harm

I want to run to you

but if I come to you

tell me, will you stay or will you run away
