We know they're right when they say we're not ready   But all we care is how we feel right now      We'll go ahead just the same   Prepare to take the blame   We'll run away and get married anyhow      They warned us that we can't live on love forever   But we just tell them we'll get by somehow      Our problems will be greater   We'll worry 'bout them later   We'll run away and get married anyhow      If other kids went through it   Then I know we can do it   If our love is that much stronger   It will last that much longer      It wasn't too long ago when our folks were   We're going through the same thing we are now      But one thing they're forgetting   A thing they're not regretting   They ran away and got married anyhow   (Ran away and got married)   Anyhow   (Ran away and got married)   They ran away and got married anyhow
