[Chorus]
Luanne, Luanne
Why do you run and hide?
Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

[Verse 1]
I wait around for you after school
You slip away and I don't see you
Don't know what I'm going to do
If you can't see how much I need you
We met, one day, and then, you ran away
I've searched the whole town looking for you
I know you're there somewhere

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I write letters that I never send
I keep the words to whisper to you someday
I don't know where and I don't know when
Luanne I'm going to get to you someway
I want to feel your love so close to me
Give me just half a chance
To prove myself, I need to

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
These days true love is so hard to find
Someday I know you're going to be mine
Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, ooh

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Luanne, Luanne
Don't need to run and hide
Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

[Outro]
Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, Luanne
I want to be beside you, can't you understand?
Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, Luanne
Give me a little love, I know you can
Luanne, Luanne
Can't you hear me calling?
Luanne

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
