I can’t stand it
I got to break lose somehow
When this boat starts rockin’
And people keep knockin’ on my door

I want to run run run run away from here
I want to run run run run away from here
I want to run away from here

Little lost girls
Little lost girls in the night
Little lost girls
Little lost girls in the night

You make my heart sting
Burning like it’s on fire
You’ve got me wanting
More from you in every way

I want to run run run run away from here
I want to run run run run away from here
I want to run away from here

Little lost girls
Little lost girls in the night
Little lost girls
Little lost girls in the night

When I see you each day
I just want to run and hide
But you follow me round
Like like a shadow upon the ground

I want to run run run run away from here
I want to run run run run away from here
I want to run away from here

Little lost girls
Little lost girls in the night
Little lost girls
Little lost girls in the night
