Runnin'
Basstoy Feat. Dana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I make you see, you have a friend in me
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'
Don't you know I'll be runnin'

Now do you believe, I'm a friend indeed
Someone you can count on, automatic guaranteed
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'
Don't you know I'll be runnin'

Ooh you keep me runnin'
Boy your love is something
Feel this love jumping
Ooh you keep me coming

Anytime you want me baby
Anytime you need me
Anytime you'r lonely




Anything you want now baby you know that I'll be there.
Don't you know I'll be runnin'
