(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
