Well you tell me today you were going far away You tell me you wanna be free But if your new friend breaks your heart in the end Don't you come running back to me Oh my darling go and stay if you want it that way You don't love me and that is plain to see If your new love turns you down, I won't be hangin' round So don't you come running back to me Just remember before you walk out the door Once we were happy as can be Then once you've gone away, there you'll have to stay Don't you come running back to me Oh my darling go and stay if you want it that way You don't love me and that is plain to see If your new love turns you down, I won't be hangin' round So don't you come running back to me Oh my darling go and stay if you want it that way You don't love me and that is plain to see If your new love turns you down, I won't be hangin' round So don't you come running back to me Don't you come running back to me
