We know they're right when they say we're not ready But all we care is how we feel right now We'll go ahead just the same Prepare to take the blame We'll run away and get married anyhow They warned us that we can't live on love forever But we just tell them we'll get by somehow Our problems will be greater We'll worry 'bout them later We'll run away and get married anyhow If other kids went through it Then I know we can do it If our love is that much stronger It will last that much longer It wasn't too long ago when our folks were Were going through the same thing we are now But one thing they're forgetting A thing they're not regretting They ran away and got married anyhow (ran away and got married) Anyhow (ran away and got married) They ran away and got married anyhow
