Run With Me
Kiki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where do you go
When things went wrong baby
Who did you run to
And find a shoulder to lay your head upon
Baby wasn't I there
Didn't I take good care of you
No no I can't believe you're leaving me yeah
Stay with me baby (stay with me baby)
Stay with me baby (stay with me baby)
Stay with me baby (stay with me baby)
I can't go on oh no
And who did you turn to
When you needed tenderness
I gave you so much
And in return I found my happiness
Baby what did I do
Baby I was too good too good to you
Stay with me baby (stay with me baby)
Stay with me baby (stay with me baby)
Stay with me baby (stay with me baby)
Remember (remember)
You said you'd always gonna need me
Remember (remember)
You said you'd never ever leave me
Remember (remember)
I'm asking you begging you oh oh
Stay with me baby (stay with me baby)
Stay with me baby (stay with me baby)
Stay with me baby
I said I'd need you love oh baby
Stay stay baby
Stay with me baby
Oh I need your love




I need your love
Stay baby I need your love

The singer forlornly pleads with her partner to stay with her, reminding them of the love and tenderness they shared in the past.


The song is about the painful aftermath of betrayal and the struggle to hold on to a relationship that is slowly slipping away. The lyrics are emotive and poetic, with the repetitive refrain of "Stay with me baby" conveying the singer's sense of desperation and desperation.
