I'm running away. I've got to get home. I'm lost in a crowd. But I'm still on my own. I'm looking ahead. So I'm staying behind. I'm not being cruel. I'm just being kind.
[Chorus]. I don't like the work but true I need the money. My life is like a joke but to me is isn't funny. People all around, telling me what to do. And all I want to do is stay at home with you.
