Am                                                   G
On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
                 Em                     F        G             Am
They're made of lipstick, plastic, and paint, a touch of sable in your eyes.
          Am                                               G
All your life all you've asked is when's your daddy gonna talk to you
          Em                       G              Am
You were living in another world trying to get a message through.

Em              G               Am
No one heard a single word you said
                 Dm
They should have seen it in your eyes
          C                 G
What was going 'round your head.

Chorus:
Am                     G
Ooooh, she's a little runaway
 C                    Em   G                   Am
Daddy's girl learned fast, all those things he couldn't say
G    E                Am
Ooooh she's a little runaway.

A different line every night guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets, call me for a wild time
So you sit home alone cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you

You know she likes the lights
at night on the neon broadway sign
She don't really mind, it's only
love she hoped to find

Chorus

No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going 'round your head.

Chorus:
Am                     G
Ooooh, she's a little runaway
 C                    Em   G                   Am
Daddy's girl learned fast, all those things he couldn't say
Am                     G
Ooooh, she's a little runaway.
 C                    Em    G                 Am
Daddy's girl learned fast, now she works the night away - x2

Am                     G
Ooooh, she's a little runaway
