Don't play that song for me
   'Cause you know that melody only breaks me down
   I was a king who now wears a broken crown
   Don't play that honky-tonk
   'Cause you know that same old song only makes me cry
   Times gone by, our love lit up the sky
  
   Our romance hit the neighbourhood like a hurricane
   Now I'm left with a broken heart and a telegram
  
   Runaway, and I thought that you were here to stay
   But you broke my heart and ran away
   Runaway, won't you come on back to me one day
   Until then I'll hide my heart away
  
   Don't play that song again
   It hurts to see all my friends on the dancing floor
   There was a time when we had so much more
   We shared that melody
   Now all I have ais a memory of a precious time
   It's a crime, our words no longer rhyme
  
   Our romance set the world on fire like a burning flame
   Now I´m left is a broken heart and a telegram
  
   Runaway, and I thought that you were here to stay
   But you broke my heart and ran away (runaway)
   Runaway, won't you come on back to me one day
   Until then I'll hide my heart away
  
   Runaway, you came and took the sun away
   All you left me was a rainy day (runaway)
   Runaway, and I thought that you were here to stay
   But you broke my heart and ran away - runaway
   Runaway, won't you come on back to me one day
