Running Lyrics by Chubby Checker

Harder Than Diamond/Running (Single)

0

[Verse 1]
Once I took a woman
Chained her to my soul
She did her best to please me
But I had control

But I never saw it coming
The change within her heart
I just can't believe
Love could be so cold
Feeling like I've just been apart

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, I'm running
Running away from the memory
Asking the stars to forgive me
The nights keep calling her name
Oh, oh, I'm running
Twisting and turning through back streets
Haunting the park where would we meet
The songs keep calling her name

[Verse 2]
I'm looking for a feeling
Looking for a light
Searching for the answer
Somewhere in the night

Every lonely loser
Cuts me down the street
Shakes me to the bone
Makes me wanna cry
I'm on my own and damned if I know why

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, I'm running
Running away from the memory
Asking the stars to forgive me
The nights keep calling her name
Oh, oh, I'm running
Twisting and turning through back streets
Haunting the park where would we meet
The songs keep calling her name

[Bridge]
Running, running away from the memory
Asking the stars to forgive me
The night keeps calling her name

Oh, oh, I'm running
Twisting and turning through back streets
Haunting the park where would we meet
This song keeps calling her name

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, I'm running
Running away from the memory
Asking the stars to forgive me
The nights keep calling her name
Oh, oh, I'm running
Twisting and turning through back streets
Haunting the park where would we meet
The songs keep calling her name
