Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do you run from me?
Run from me
Why do you run?
You’re so quiet sitting in the corner
When I look at you, you look away
I can’t help noticing you’re nervous when I’m near you Boy you got me thinking about you every day
I just wanna dance with you so slow
Turn the music up and turn the lights down low
Feel your heart beating here close to mine
Oh won’t you give me a sign?
Sensuously shy
Ooh I just wanna take you to the sky
Won’t you let me?
Run from me
Why do you run from me?
Run from me
Why do you run?
I hear guys talking out loud
Feeling rough and acting tough and looking so proud
I’m supposed to run to them and fall to my knees
But my heart is set on the boy nobody sees
Sensuously shy
