You can't seem to settle down 
Seems to be too many toys around 
What you gonna do about the girls whose hearts you're breaking 
Can't you see the damage of the liberties you're taking 

Chorus 
Why do you run away from love, little boy 
There's nothing wrong with a little love, little boy 
You're gonna end up all alone, little boy 
There's nothing wrong with a little love, little boy 

You can't tell me your heart don't feel nothing 
Cause when you first met the girl 
It could not stop jumping 
Now you seem to be holding back 
Emotionally you're empty 
You must try to let yourself go 
And taste what you've been missing 

Why do you run away from love, little boy 
There's nothing wrong with a little love, little boy 
You're gonna end up all alone, little boy 
So why do you run away from love, little boy 

Love is a serious thing 
Put aside pride before it's too late you might fade away 

Why must you have to want to go on this way 
You don't seem to ever wanna change your ways 
All you have to do is to decide to give love one chance 
And you just might find there is some goodness inside romance 

Why do you run away from love, little boy 
There's nothing wrong with a little love, little boy 
You're gonna end up all alone, little boy 
There's nothing wrong with a little love, little boy 
Hold on, yeah, to your love, your love, your love
