Kirsty MacColl - Don't Run Away From Me Now lyrics

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
