The Chase
MiC LOWRY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's the first time that I saw you
Looking through my window
I couldn't wait til I saw you again
I had to ask my boys if they saw you around
They said "Yeah we know that girl, she's the talk of the town"
She's on another level
Baby I want you
Do I just love the chase
Do I really need you
Cause you don't give me the attention I crave
Cause you're throwin me lifelines
But in the meantime
Don't be easy on me babe
I want you
Or do I just love the chase
Oh I used to be so good at this
Usually keep that good poker face
But I don't know how to stop it
Everything that I'm looking for girl you got it
Why don't you run and ask your girls if they saw me around
They say "Me and my boys, we're the talk of the town"
I won't settle for a girl unless she's on another level like you
Baby I want you
Do I just love the chase
Do I really need you
Cause you don't give me the attention I crave
Cause you're throwin me lifelines
But in the meantime
Don't be easy on me babe
I want you
Or do I just love the chase
Girl I know you know I love to chase you
Just run, run, run
You runnin' through my mind I can't escape you
Just run, run, run
When I get ahold of you
I know what I'm gonna do
Girl I know you know I love to chase you
Baby I want you
Do I just love the chase
Do I really need you
Cause you don't give me the attention I crave
Cause you're throwin me lifelines
But in the meantime
Don't be easy on me babe
I want you
Or do I just love the chase
Just so you know I love you baby x4
Do I just love the chase
The beginning of MiC LOWRY's "The Chase" narrates a story of how the singer met a girl on a Monday, and from the first moment he saw her, he couldn't wait to see her again. He asks his friends if they have seen her around town, and they confirm that they know the girl, but she is not someone who would settle for someone like the singer. The singer, however, is already captivated and has feelings for her, even though he is not sure if he genuinely wants her or is just in love with the thrill of the chase.
The second verse focuses on the girl's merits, which make her stand out from other girls that the singer has met before. She possesses all the qualities the singer has been looking for in a girl. He tells her to confirm with her friends about him and finds out that he is equally in the talk of the town. The bridge highlights the singer's love for chasing the girl, the thrill he gets from chasing her, her running through his mind, and how he cannot escape from her.
