Lyrics
Getaway
Marghi Allen
(c) 1987
Well, it started out so good
You were always on my mind
And if I wanted to you would
Give your love anytime
But your eye began to stray
And we ran out of things to say
And before I could get it straight
You made your getaway.
Well, I let you steal my heart
And then I watched you shoot me down
If I?d known it from the start
Would I have hung around
Well its difficult to say
What kind of price I might have paid
On the chance you would have stayed
And never made your getaway.
Seems like you?re always on the run
Seem like you?re always laying low
Cause there always is someone
Who is starting to get close
Now I see you in the bars
And we always say hello
I see you in your car
With your new girl in tow
And she looks at you the way
I used to look at you, and hey
Can it be to many days
Before you make your getaway.
