She didn’t tell him why she ran,
Along the beach and toward the sea,
And told him “catch me if you can”.
And as he chased her ‘cross the sand
Her heart beat fast in jubilee.
She didn’t tell him why she ran.
He seemed to her the perfect man.
She fell in love with him, you see,
And told him “catch me if you can”.
To marry her had been his plan
But when he got down on one knee
She didn’t tell him why she ran.
So like the day it all began
She fled from him with anxious glee
And told him “catch me if you can”.
He sadly did not understand
The reason why she thus did flee.
She didn’t tell him why she ran,
And told him “catch me if you can”.
