Roy Orbison - Running Scared Lyrics






Just runnin' scared each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin' scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you

Just runnin' scared, feelin' low
Runnin' scared, you love him so
Just runnin' scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose

Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
You turned around and walked away with me.

    ONLY one Roy Orbinson.
    He was an original. He had a singular voice, could write beautiful songs and a range that was Incredible. Roy could tell a story inside three minutes and keep you enthralled from the beginning to the end.
    I really miss the Man from Texas.
    RIP Sir, you truly shined the brightest of them all.

    Lyrics...

    Just running scared each place we go so afraid that he might show
    Just running scared what would I do if he came back and wanted you
    Just running scared feeling low yeah running scared you loved him so
    Just running scared afraid to lose if he came back which one would you choose

    My heart was breaking which one would it be
    Then you turned around and walked away with me

  23. D.... A....

    *JIGSAW* and *WATCHMEN*

  24. j.... ....

    When a voice melted notes like no one else.... you still are one of the greatest singers with the velvet voice that still marvels every time I play your music .

  25. S.... K....

    You. Yes you. Please don't look at the comment section.

  26. T.... M....

    1961. Roger Maris hits 61 home runs. Phenomenal impact, undeniably, on American pop culture. BUT, 1961 was also the year our transistor radios were blessed with Running Scared and Crying . . . by Roy Orbison. What a GREAT year !

  27. M.... ....

    Esse aí manja de música!

  28. D.... G....

    Thumbs up for anyone here just because of the great music, and not because of some tv show/movie/video game/commercial....

  29. A.... ....

    Amazing song. I remember the Rock and Roll Documentary on PBS back in the 1990's telling the the making of this song. He was so nervous singing in front of an orchestra, that he had to do several takes , so they had to surround him with curtains suspended from coat racks to isolate him. Then he blew everybody away by singing a natural high C at the end of the song.

  30. C.... S....

    This epitomizes Roy's uncanny ability to evoke such feeling in his delivery. None better and this was his magnum opus.

  31. T.... M....

    JIGSAW!!!!!!!!

  32. I.... J....

    Sweet dreams TN by the last shadow puppets is sound alike 🤔

  33. G.... 1....

    Estoy aqui por watchmen

  34. T.... H....

    1:35 is the best part

  35. s.... ....

    Is anyone here after the watchmen trailer?

  36. M.... d....

    Judging by the lyrics and the setting... I am really curious if this new Watchmen series is a sequel to Zack Snyder's Watchmen

    M.... d....

    well it is a sequel, it has the original characters from the comic/film (those that are still alive anyway)... we see silk spectre, ozymandias and catch a glimpse of dr manhattan in the trailers. not sure about nite owl yet...

    M.... d....

    Nope, but its the sequel to the original comics set in modern times, except without the internet and smartphones.

  37. A.... U....

    I was always here. Before watchmen and before jigsaw.

    A.... U....

    I'm here for the jigsaw, watchmen, and cause I like it 👌

  38. M.... L....
