You can't seem to settle down
Seems to be too many toys around
What you gonna do about the girls whose hearts you're breaking
Can't you see the damage of the liberties you're taking

Chorus
Why do you run away from love, little boy
There's nothing wrong with a little love, little boy
You're gonna end up all alone, little boy
There's nothing wrong with a little love, little boy

You can't tell me your heart don't feel nothing
Cause when you first met the girl
It could not stop jumping
Now you seem to be holding back
Emotionally you're empty
You must try to let yourself go
And taste what you've been missing

Why do you run away from love, little boy
There's nothing wrong with a little love, little boy
You're gonna end up all alone, little boy
So why do you run away from love, little boy

Love is a serious thing
Put aside pride before it's too late you might fade away

Why must you have to want to go on this way
You don't seem to ever wanna change your ways
All you have to do is to decide to give love one chance
And you just might find there is some goodness inside romance

Why do you run away from love, little boy
There's nothing wrong with a little love, little boy
You're gonna end up all alone, little boy
There's nothing wrong with a little love, little boy
Hold on, yeah, to your love, your love, your love
