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
