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
