Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just call my name and I'll be right there
In the midnight hour, can you feel this power?
Just call my name and I'll come runnin'
Just call, don't you know I'll be runnin'?
Don't you know I'll be, don't you know I'll be be runnin'?
Now do you believe, I'm a friend indeed?
Like a thief in the night, I got what you like
I want what you got, I got what you need
When you need me call, I won't let you fall
Whatever you need I got it guaranteed
Can I make you see, you can count on me?
Just call my name and I'll come runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
