Crook & Del Shannon As I walk along, I wonder What went wrong with our love A love that was so strong And as I still walk on, I think of The things we've done together While our hearts were young I'ma walkin' in the rain Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain Wishin' you were here by me To end this misery I wonder I wo-wo-wo wonder Why... why-why-why-why-why She ran away And I wonder where she will stay My little runaway I run-run-run-run runaway I'ma walkin' in the rain Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain Wishin' you were here by me To end this misery I wonder I wo-wo-wo wonder Why... why-why-why-why-why She ran away And I wonder where she will stay My little runaway I run-run-run-run runaway I run-run-run-run runaway I run-run-run-run runaway
