THE SPECIALS & FUN BOY THREE – RUNNING AWAY Lyrics
Artist: THE SPECIALS & FUN BOY THREE
Song: RUNNING AWAY
When you look, what do you see?
You only see the monkey not the man in me
But now I’m back and that’s a fact
Gonna show the next generation where I’m at
Now what I mean is to say
The way that I was is the same as I am today
Now if you’re white or if you’re black
Remember you can’t get the monkey off your back
You’re running and you’re running and you’re running away
(You’re running away)
From the monkey man
You’re running and you’re running and you’re running away
(You’re running away)
From the monkey man
I was lost, but now I’m found
Some might even say that I’ve been around
With the crowd I would move
Mr. Sophisticated just can’t lose
Now in the style that I was dressed
I was the steady reason no one could test
Yeah, I was smart and I was cool
No matter how hard they tried I was no ones fool
You’re running and you’re running and you’re running away
(You’re running away)
From the monkey man
You’re running and you’re running and you’re running away
(You’re running away)
From the monkey man
Did you hear what I say?
(Did you hear what I say?)
Did you hear what I say?
(Did you hear what I say?)
You’re running and you’re running and you’re running away
(You’re running away)
From the monkey man
You’re running and you’re running and you’re running away
(You’re running away)
From the monkey man
When you look, what do you see?
You only see the monkey not the man in me
Well, now I’m back and that’s a fact
Gonna show the next generation where I’m at
Now what I mean is to say
The way that I was is the same as I am today
And if you’re white or if you’re black
Remember you can’t get this monkey off your back
You’re running and you’re running and you’re running away
(You’re running away)
From the monkey man
You’re running and you’re running and you’re running away
(You’re running away)
From the monkey man
You’re running and you’re running and you’re running away
(You’re running away)
From the monkey man
You’re running and you’re running but you can’t get away
(You’re running away)
From the monkey man
From the monkey man, from the monkey man
