Did you cry when they dragged you home?   Put a lock on the door and the telephone   Was a runaway girl all they could see?      Have the nights and the days that you've come through   Made the right seem wrong and the false seem true   Was a runaway girl all they could see?   A teenage extra from the satellite TV      Runaway girl   Too bad, too bad   Runaway girl   Too wild, too wild      Were they deaf to the prayer behind your lies?   Maybe they didn't dare to ask you why   Was a runaway girl all they chose to see?   All they were prepared to admit to      Runaway girl   Too bad, too bad   Runaway girl   A real wild child      So you cower in the towns forgotten places   And you make your bed with unfamiliar faces   And at last you've got your freedom but that's all you've got   You're tryin' to make your mind up if you're better off      You pretend to wait for washing in some Laundromat   But you're damned if you'll give them the satisfaction of you going back   You'd freeze to death before you'd share a roof with them   And you'd starve before you'd let him get his hands on you again      Did you cry when they dragged you home?   Did you cry when they dragged you home?   Poor little runaway, poor little runaway
