I Was Running The Opposite Way
Written by Irwin Levine and L. Russel Brown
We were such good friends
In the beginning
You were like a sister to me
Now we’re in the final inning
And girl it looks like strike three.
I was running in the opposite way
When you wanted me I didn’t want you baby
Running in the opposite way
Now it’s me who’s wanting you today
But you’re running in the opposite way
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey
You grew up before my very eyes child
Just when you said, “Wow, what have we here,”
You ran into someone else’s arms child
And I love you I love you I love you
My darlin’ dear
I was running in the opposite way
When you wanted me I didn’t want you baby
Running in the opposite way
Now it’s me who’s wanting you today
But you’re running in the opposite way
Hey Hey Hey Hey
