RUNNING BACK
(Boz Boorer)
POLECATS (MERCURY, 1981)

I went to the dance, but I didn't wanna go on my own
So I picked up my baby, who didn't wanna be alone
When it's the end of the evening
My baby's thinking about leaving
It drives her wild, 'cause I never ever wanna go home
Well, she comes running back, 'cause I'll alwaye be there
I love her so much, but she just don't care
She don't call much, but she's always near
Running back baby, 'cause I'm always here

I fall for my baby, 'cause I love her just the same
She drives me wild, 'cause she don't even know my name
When I'm taking her home, she don't wanna be alone
She's a cute little baby and I know she's never gonna roam
Well, she comes running back, 'cause I'll alwaye be there
I love her so much, but she just don't care
She don't call much, but she's always near
Running back baby, 'cause I'm always here

I meet my baby every evening just about eight
I get paranoid, 'cause I don't ever wanna be late
I'm gonna pick her up in my car
We drive, but we never go far
I love my little baby and she knows that I just can't wait
Well, she comes running back, 'cause I'll alwaye be there
I love her so much, but she just don't care
She don't call much, but she's always near
Running back baby, 'cause I'm always here

Well, she comes running back, 'cause I'll alwaye be there
I love her so much, but she just don't care
She don't call much, but she's always near
Running back baby, 'cause I'm always here
Running back baby, 'cause I'm always here
Running back baby, 'cause I'm always here
