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
