Hit & Run Lover
Ben Liebrand Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was waitin' for my life to change
He was goin' much too fast
When he suddenly touched me
It felt so right
But he sped off away
In the middle of the night

He's a hit 'n' run lover

He'll get you when you're dow-own
That hit 'n' run lover
Hell love you good then hell get out of town

That hit 'n' run
That hit 'n' run

The smell of tears then angry words
Then the sounds of breakin hearts
Passersby shake their heads and sigh
Its just a bad intersection, I replied

He's a hit 'n' run lover
He'll get you when you're dow-own
That hit 'n' run lover
Hell love you good then hell get out of town
He's a hit 'n' run lover (lover, lover) lover

Ow! Hit 'n' run lover

It might seem heartless
It might seem cruel
But you can't arrest him
When you've been the fool, ah

Hooh-hooh-hooh, hooh-ooh, hooh-hooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hit 'n' run, hit 'n' run
Hit 'n' run lover, yeah, mmm
Hit 'n' run, hit 'n' run
Hit 'n' run lover, yeah-yeah-eah
Hit 'n' run lover, now-ow, mm-mm-mm

Hit 'n' run lover, Ow! lover
Hit 'n' ru-un

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Hit 'n Run Lover" by Ben Liebrand describe the emotional and physical impact of a short-lived and intense relationship with a lover who isn't interested in sticking around for the long haul. The singer is waiting for her life to change, presumably for the better, when this lover comes into her life. The touch they share feels right, but just as suddenly as he came into her life, he drives away in the middle of the night without warning, leaving her wanting more. The chorus refers to this kind of lover as a "hit 'n' run lover", someone who comes in to love you, then leaves just as quickly.

The second verse describes the aftermath of the relationship, where the singer is left alone, dealing with the aftermath and the heartbreak. The passersby judge and shake their heads, but the singer believes that it was just a bad intersection, meaning that the relationship was meant to end from the start because of its fleeting nature. The bridge of the song talks about the futility of trying to hold onto a man who is a hit 'n' run lover - he won't stick around and you can't arrest him for leaving.

Overall, the song is a sad reminder of the unpredictability and heartbreak that come with falling in love with someone who has no interest in sticking around for the long haul. It is a cautionary tale to those who may be in a similar situation, warning them that getting involved with a hit 'n' run lover will only lead to heartbreak and disappointment.

I was waitin' for my life to change
I was longing for something new to happen in my life

He was goin' much too fast
The guy I met was living life recklessly

When he suddenly touched me
He made a spontaneous move to grab my attention

However, he left quickly

In the middle of the night
Late at night when everyone else was asleep

He'll come after you when you're at your weakest

That hit 'n' run lover
He is notorious for his hit and run love style

Hell love you good then hell get out of town
He'll show you a great time, but he'll soon be gone

The sad and angry feelings after he leaves
