Runnin' Runnin'
Yeah ayo, oh
You walk like that
You talk like that, oh
Boy, got you runnin' on my mind (Yeah ayo)
Got you runnin' on my mind, yeah boy (Oh)
Got you runnin' on my mind (You walk like that)

Boy, got you runnin' on my mind

Got you runnin' on my mind
Got you runnin' on my mind, yeah boy
When I wake up
I can't help myself but to think of us
Where we're going, where we are
No more tossing, turning
No more wishing on a star
When it's sunny, it's cold
I need you when it's dark
I can be your number one
I don't care about them other ones
Nothin' holding back my love for you, for you
I can be your number one
I don't care about them other ones
Nothin' holding back my love for you, for you
