Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something on my mind
I need to tell you why
He's playing you for a fool
He's fooling 'round on you
And I just lost my cool
Feeling so sad
Cause he waits too long so he can't
Come back again
Too bad for the running man
Cause I'm rright here waiting to make
That girl forget
Too bad for the running man, goodbye
Life isn't what it seems
Or something in a dream
That's not quite what I mean
I need to say goodbye
You think I didn't try
I'm not that other guy
I'm feeling so sad
Too bad for the running man
Cuase he waits too long so he can't
Come back again
Too bad for the running man
Cause I'm right here waiting to help
That girl forget
Too bad for the running man goodbye
Too bad for the running man
Cause he waits too long so he can't
Come back again
Too bad for hte running man
Cause I'm right here waiting to help
That girl forget
Too bad for the running man goodbye
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad
It's too bad
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad
It's too bad
The song "Running Man" by Hanson is a heart-wrenching ballad about a man who is in love with a girl who is being cheated upon by her boyfriend. The lyricist is waiting up all night, trying to gather the courage to confess to the girl about the infidelity of her boyfriend. He is feeling sad and angry at the same time because the girl is being played for a fool, and he just lost his cool. The running man is the girl's boyfriend who is running away from his responsibilities and his mistakes. He waits too long to realize his mistake, so he cannot come back again.
The lyricist is expressing his love for the girl and is willing to help her forget about the running man. The song talks about how life is not always what it seems, and sometimes it's like a dream that's not quite what we mean. The running man may have fooled the girl, but the lyricist is not that other guy. He tried to make the girl see the truth, but he couldn't. The song ends with the lyricist saying goodbye to the running man, hoping that someday the girl will forget about him.
