I won't run away no more, I promise
Even when I get bored, I promise
Even when you lock me out, I promise
I say my prayers every night, I promise

I know which side I’m spread, I promise
The tantrums and the chitty-chat, I promise
Even when the ship is wrecked, I promise
Tie me to the rotting deck, I promise

I won't run away no more, I promise
Even when I get bored, I promise
Even when the ship is wrecked, I promise
Tie me to the rotting deck, I promise

I won't run away no more, I promise
