Runnin'
Basstoy f/ Dana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh can I make you see, you've 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'
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?
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'
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'

Just call my name
Runnin', runnin'




Runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin'

Always takes me back to Crunch on Branston Street in Brum and dancing and chatting to the most beautiful and loveliest girls you've ever seen. Pills were great for putting aside any notions of pretentiousness and just chatting, hugging and dancing with everyone and anyone.
