Don't Run Away From Me Now Lyrics - Kirsty Maccoll

It's time now to pick all the toys off the floor 

I'll say it again and I've said it before 

We don't have a nickel to spend at the store 

And don't run away from me now 

Your daddy's gone looking to find him a job 

Your grandmother's sent all her welfare to god 

Your brother's been taking it out on the dog 

So don't run away from me now 

There's you and your brothers and sisters to care for 

But I don't know how when we ain't got the wherefor 

So come let me hug you and show you what love's for 

And don't run away from me now 

The screaming and shouting's all done for today 

I'll clear up the mess when you're all out the way 

So give us a kiss 'cause there's nothing to say 

But don't run away from me now 

There's you and your brothers and sisters to care for 

A whole lot of things that you should say your prayers for 

So don't make a fuss now or I'll give you what for 

Just don't run away from me now 

Don't run away from me now
