Lyrics

[Verse 1]

On the street where you live, girls talk about their social lives

They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes

All your life, all your life, all you've asked when's your daddy gonna talk to you

But you were livin' in another world tryna get your message through

[PreChorus]

No one heard a single word you said

They should have seen it in your eyes

What was goin' around your head

[Chorus]

Ooh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

All those things he couldn't say

Ooh, she's a little runaway

[Verse 2]

Take a line every night, guaranteed to blow your mind

I see you out on the streets, calling for a wild time

So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do

There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you

[Verse 3]

You know she likes the lights at nights on the neon Broadway signs

She don't really mind, it's only love she hoped to find

[Chorus]

Ooh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

All those things he couldn't say

Ooh, she's a little runaway

[PreChorus]

No one heard a single word you said

They should have seen it in your eyes

What was going around your head

[Chorus]

Ooh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

All those things he couldn't say

Ooh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

Now she works the night away

Ooh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

All those things he couldn't say

Ooh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast

Now she works the night away

Ooh, she's a little runaway
