You played hooky from school And you can't go out and play, yeah Mama said, for the rest of the week In your room, you gotta' stay, yeah
Now you feel like The whole world's pickin' on you, Temptations: Now you feel like The whole world's pickin' on you But deep down inside, You know ain't true
You're on punishment 'Cause your mama wants to raise you the right way, yeah But you don't care... 'Cause you already made up your mind You wanna' run away, yeah You're on your way....
Runaway child, runnin' wild Runaway child, runnin' wild You better go back home, Better go back home, Where you belong Where you belong
You're roamin' through the city Goin' nowhere fast, You're on your own at last Hey, it's getting late, where will you sleep? Gettin' kind of hungry... You forgot to bring somethin' to eat Oh, lost with no money You start to cry, But remember, you left home Wantin' to be grown, So dry your weepin' eyes
Sirens screaming down neon-lighted streets, You want your mama All day lookin' for you... You're frightened and confused I want my mama But she's much too far away, She can't hear a word you say Run, run, run
You heard some frightening news On the radio, About little boys runnin' away from home And their parents don't see 'em no more You want to stop and hitch a ride, I know But your mama told you never trust a stranger And you don't know which way to go
The streets are dark and deserted, Not a sound or sign of life, huh Oh how you gonna' hear your mother's voice, 'Cause your lost and alone... But remember you made this choice, oh
Runaway child, runnin' wild You better go back home, Where you belong... Runaway child, runnin' wild You better go back home, Where you belong, Your lost in this great big city, You better go back home, Where you belong Huh, not one familiar face, ain't it a pity!! Go back home, where you belong Oh, runaway child, runnin' wild... You better go back home, Where you belong, oh yeah...
: Mama mama please, come on see about me But she's much too far away, She can't hear a word you say, I want my mama Whoa, you're frightened and confused, Which way will you choose
Temptations: weaving in and out of music with ad libs for about 5 to 6 minutes
music(a long bridge)
Listen to your heartbeat It's beating much too fast, Go back home, Where you belong
Repeat to fade while Eddies sings in background: Oh hard head, ah-ha hard head, Oh hard head, ah-ha hard head
