Lyrics:

You Played Hooky From School And You Cant Go Out To Play, Yeah
mama Said
for The Rest Of The Week In Your Room You Gotta Stay, Yeah

now You Feel Like
the Whole Worlds Pickin On You
but Deep Down Inside
you Know It Aint True

youre In Punishment
cause Your Mama Wants To Raise You The Right Way, Yeah
but You Dont Care
cause You Already Made Up Your Mind
you Wanna Run Away, Yeah
youre On Your Way ...

runaway Child, Running Wild
runaway Child, Running Wild
better Go Back Home
better Go Back Home
where You Belong
where You Belong

roaming Through The City
going Nowhere Fast
youre On Your Own At Last
hey Its Getting Late, Where Will You Sleep
gettin Kinda Hungry ...
you Forgot To Bring Something To Eat
oh, Lost With No Money,
you Start To Cry
but Remember, You Left Home
wanting To Be Grown
so Dry Your Weepin Eyes

siren Screamin Down,
neon Light Is Flickin
you Want Your Mama
ah Theres Nothing For You
youre Frightened And Confused
i Want My Mama
but Shes Much Too Far Away
she Cant Hear A Word You Say
you Heard Some Frightening News On The Radio
about Little Boys Running Away From Home
and Their Parents Dont See Them No More
you Wanna Hitch A Ride And Go Home
but Your Mama Told You Never Trust A Stranger
and You Dont Know Which Way To Go

streets Are Dark And Deserted
not A Sound Nor Sign Of Life
oh, How You Long To Hear Your Mothers Voice
cause Youre Lost And Alone
but Remember You Made The Choice

run Away Child, Running Wild
better Go Back Home Where You Belong
run Away Child, Running Wild
better Go Back Home Where You Belong

youre Lost In This Great Big City (Go Back Home Where You Belong)
not One Familiar Face, Aint It A Pity (Go Back Home Where You Belong)
oh Runaway Child, Running Wild
you Better Go Back Home Where You Belong

mama, Mama Please Come And See About Me
but Shes Much Too Far Away
she Cant Hear A Word You Say
i Want My Mama
youre Frightened And Confused
which Way Will You Choose
