Barbara Pennington Running In Another Direction Lyrics

If ever true love came my way, you were the one
It was you that my foundation of love was built upon
Although I worshiped you, boy, my feelin' won't return
And you ran away, leaving me rejected and spurned

You're just runnin' in another direction
Away from my love and affection
Each time I wanna make a connection
You keep runnin' in another direction

So tell me, why did you leave me alone in distress?
You demolished my life and you left it in a horrible mess
If you only stay, I know I could regain my sanity
But you ran away, you're so concerned with your vanity

You're just runnin' in another direction Away from my love and affection
Each time I wanna make a connection
You keep runnin' in another direction

So, baby, please don't run from me 'cause my world's on fire
And the flames that burn keep risin' higher and higher
Don't you know my love life is directed at you?
I just need an indication that what we had isn't true

You're just runnin' in another direction
Away from my love and affection
Each time I wanna make a connection
You keep runnin' in another direction

Oh baby, please don't run from me
You keep runnin', runnin'
