Lyrics

Ooh Na-na, 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 I make you cry when I run away You could've asked me why I broke your heart You could've told me that you fell apart But you walked past me like I wasn't there And just pretended like you didn't care I don't know why I run away I make you cry when I run away Take me back 'cause I wanna stay Save your tears for another Save your tears for another day Save your tears for another day (so) I made you think that I would always stay I said some things that I should never say Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine And now you won't love me for a second time I don't know why I run away, oh, girl Said, I make you cry when I run away Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay Save your tears for another I realize that I'm much too late And you deserve someone better Save your tears for another day (oh yeah) Save your tears for another day (yeah) I don't know why I run away I'll make you cry when I run away Save your tears for another day Ooh, girl, I said (ah) Save your tears for another day (ah) Save your tears for another day (ah) Save your tears for another day (ah)
