Temptations - Runaway Child, Running wild
You played hooky from school
And you can't go out to play, yeah
Mama said for the rest of the week
In your room you gotta stay, yeah
Now you feel like
The whole world's pickin' on you
But deep down inside you know it ain't true
You've been punished cause your mother
Wants to raise you the right way, yeah
But you don't care
Cause you already made up your mind
You want to run away, yeah
You're on your way
Run away child, running wild
Run away child, running wild
Better come back home
Better come back home
Where you belong
Where you belong
Roaming through the city
Going nowhere fast
You're on your own at last
Hey it's getting late, where will you sleep
Gettin' kinda hungry
You forgot to bring something to eat
Oh lost with no money, you start to cry
But remember you left home
Wanting to be grown
So dry your weepin' eyes
Siren screamin' down, neon light is flickin'
You want your mama
Ah there's nothing for you
You're frightened and confused
I want my mama
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
You heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And their parents don't see them no more
You want to hitch a ride and go home
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don't know which way to go
Streets are dark and deserted
Not a sound nor sign of life
How you long to hear your mother's voice
Cause you're lost and alone
But remember you make the choice
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
You're lost in this great big city
(Go back home where you belong)
Not one familiar face
Ain't it a pity
(Go back home where you belong)
Oh run away child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
Mama, mama please come and see about me
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
I want my mama
You're frightened and confused
Which way will you choose...

템프테이션의 곡은 국내에 한.두곡정도 대중화되었죠. 그것도 빌 위더스의 솔로 곡으로
앨범으로 히트 한곡은 PaPa was Roling ston.이 있구요. 나중에 락으로 편곡되어
대중화 되긴 하는데 국내에서는 시들합니다.
이곡 역시 국내 방송에서는 한번도 전파를 탄적이 없는 곡이기도 합니다만 마니아 분들의
성지 순례?같은 곡이로 꼽힙니다.
아무튼 Ain't no sunshine 과 비슷한 느낌으로 곡이 만들어져 가끔 듣는 곡입니다.
앨범은 모타운에서 만들었습니다.
