Run away, run away with me darling
I’ve been waiting for you

Run away, run away from me darling
Run away, cos I’m bad news

But one day, I’ll be something of use to you
And one day, I’ll make amends to prove

(that I’m more than just a boy)
In the Big world, a man who couldn’t do it first, a troop so damn afraid of getting hurt

(And she’s just a) girl in the thick of it, only got one lane to pick a girl who’s not afraid of getting rich

So if you want to stay with me
Then please stay away from me

Stay awake, stay awake with me darling
I really need some time think again

I work so hard to get along, I just want to feel like I belong
I give a hundred for a penny just to feel part of many, and my head sits heavy on my neck

But one day, I’ll be something of use to you
And one day, I’ll make amends to prove

(that I’m more than just a boy)
In the Big world, a man who couldn’t do it first, a troop so damn afraid of getting hurt

(And she’s just a) girl in the thick of it, only got one lane to pick a girl who’s not afraid of getting rich

So if you want to stay with me
Then please stay away from me

But then boy meets girl and wants to rule the world
Girl says no let’s make it our own

Girl leads the troops and boy wash the dishes
Momma says that against a mothers wishes

But boy knows that his duty stands tall
And girl knows that she’s better than them all

But he’s just a boy
In the big world

And she’s just a girl
In the big world
