Ooh (ooh)

Nah-nah, yeah

 

I saw you dancing in a crowded room (uh)

You look so happy when I'm not with you

But then you saw me, caught you by surprise

A single teardrop falling from your eye

 

I don't know why I run away (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I'll make you cry when I run away (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

 

Take me back 'cause I wanna stay

Save your tears for another

 

Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Save your tears for another day (mm)

 

Met you once under a Pisces moon

I kept my distance 'cause I know that you

Don't like when I'm with nobody else

I couldn't help it, I put you through hell

 

I don't know why I run away (run away, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh, boy, I'll make you cry when I run away (away, oh, oh, oh, oh)

 

Boy, take me back 'cause I wanna stay

Save your tears for another

I realize that it's much too late

And you deserve someone better

 

Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

 

I don't know why I run away (bum, bum, bum, bum, bum)

I'll make you cry when I run away (save)

 

Save your tears for another day (ooh)

Ooh, girl (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay)

I said save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

 

Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Save your tears for another day (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Save your tears for another day.
