Don’t Run Away

[Verse 1]
You say don't need nobody
How many times did he let you down
To make you never wanna love nobody?
Girl, I can change your life around
I bet you think I'm gaming
And I wanna take you home
But girl, you'd be surprised
Ask me how I know

[Chorus]
Let's just say that I've been here before
So I know what you want, what you need, and more
And for the record, yes, I've been hurt before
So no, I won't play with your heart, I'm sure
Don't run away

[Verse 2]
Girl, trust me, I can make you happy
You need somebody that'll treat you nice
I can tell you been crushed in the past, see
You don't need your heart broke twice
Three times for me, I'll tell you
And girl, it don't feel good
But you would be surprised
Ask me how I know

[Chorus]
Let's just say that I've been here before
So I know what you want, what you need, and more
For the record, yes, I've been hurt before
So no, I won't play with your heart, I'm sure
Don't run away
I've been here before
So I know what you want, what you need, and more
And for the record, yes, I've been hurt before
So no, I won't play with your heart, I'm sure
Don't run away

[Bridge]
I can tell that you've been crying
And a girl so fine should not cry
No need for all that moping
Girl, stop 'cause you're too dope and
You would be so surprised
Ask me how I know

[Chorus]
Let's just say that I've been here before
So I know what you want, what you need, and more
And for the record, yes, I've been hurt before
So no, I won't play with your heart, I'm sure
Don't run away
I've been here before
So I know what you want, what you need, and more
And for the record, yes, I've been hurt before
So no, I won't play with your heart, I'm sure
Don't run away

[Outro]
You've been running all your life, girl
So girl, don't you (don't run away)
You got somebody that'll treat you right, girl
Don't you (don't run away)
I'm trying to let you know that
Love is right here, girl (don't run away)
Don't let hurt hold you back, babe
Don't run away (don't run away)
I, I've been here before, baby (don't run away)
I know, I know, I know, I know
I could give it to you, baby, if you let me know
For the record, yeah, girl
