Hard To Get
Kevin McCall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can search far and wide looking for my baby
In the sky, mountain high, I'm gonna find my baby, oh, oh!
Cause I'm in it for the change, you can call me crazy
But we'll be together, don't take forever!
I don't wanna hear you saying, catch me if you can,
I just wanna hear you saying, saying I'm your man!
Are you coming like marco polo
I'mma find you, no matter where you go!

Chorus:
She's trying to run from me,
But I know I've got her,
Cause shawty can't run from love!
She's playing hide and seek,
But I know I find her,
Cause shawty can't run from love!
Playing hard to get, playing hard to get!
Playing hard to get, playing hard to get!
Shawty can't run, shawty can't run from love!

I don't know what you've been told about me,
But I suppose that you should know one thing:
Anything I want I'll get it,
I want you girl, so baby what you say,
Do you still wanna play hard to get?
I don't wanna hear you saying, catch me if you can,
I just wanna hear you saying, saying I'm your man!
Are you coming like marco polo
I'mma find you, no matter where you go!

Chorus:
She's trying to run from me,
But I know I've got her,
Cause shawty can't run from love!
She's playing hide and seek,
But I know I find her,
Cause shawty can't run from love!
Playing hard to get, playing hard to get!
Playing hard to get, playing hard to get!




Shawty can't run, shawty can't run from love!
From love, run from love!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kevin McCall's song "Hard to Get" are about a man who is persistent in his pursuit of a woman who is playing hard to get. He emphasizes that he is willing to search high and low to find her because he is "in it for the change," and hopes that they will be together soon rather than taking forever. He doesn't want to hear her say "catch me if you can," but rather wants to hear her say that he is her man. He compares his search for her to Marco Polo's search for new lands, stating that he will find her no matter where she goes.


The chorus reinforces the main message of the song: that the woman may try to run from him and play hide and seek, but she ultimately can't run from love. The lyrics suggest that the man believes that he will eventually win her over, even if she is initially resistant to his advances.


Overall, the lyrics reflect a common trope in pop music where a man pursues a woman who is initially uninterested or playing hard to get. While some listeners may find the persistence of the singer endearing or romantic, others may find it pushy or even creepy. Nonetheless, the catchy melody and upbeat vibe of the song have made it a popular track among fans of R&B and pop music.
