I got myself in trouble, I'm runnin' from the law
'Cause 'e thinks I tip the scales
This boy he's kinda jealous, he makes me toe the line
He wants me in his jail
I'm runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from his love
I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Runnin' from his love
He says that I am guilty, the evidence is clear
It's plain for all to see
The Crown is very simple, I broke 'is heart in two
It's murder in the first degree
I'm runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from his love
I'm runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from his love
He knows he's judge 'n' jury, he's gonna make me pay
I know that I can't win
Insanity is what I plead he's gotta let me go
I promise, I won't sin, again
I'm runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from his love
I'm runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from his love
I couldn't serve the sentence, or wear the ball an' chain
I'm a young girl in my prime
I know that when 'e finds me, he'll wanna give me life
But I can't do that much time
I'm runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from his love
I'm runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from his love
I'm runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from his love
I'm runnin', runnin', from, his, love
