Runaway Betty's got a problem
And she don't know where to turn
She's got this big ambition
But she doesn't seem to learn

She needs some love and affection
She just changes her direction
She's always had it easy
But she never thought it was

The boy that she's been pleasing
Prays that he's the only one
So she'll walk the streets of Miami
Just to keep her kid and candy

Gotta runaway, but don't know where to go
Says she'll run away, that's all been a show
Gotta Runaway, does a runaway
Runaway, hey!

She talks of being happy
As the tears roll down her face
She swears that she'll be laughing
When she finds a better place
'Til then it's paper roses
As her bank account, she closes
