Runaway
Nelly Lyrics
There are only two places I could go
One is dark and it feels so hollow
And it lets me in only to swallow
To much water until I drown, baby
And the other place is calm and sweet
I can almost feel wings beneath my feet
And I don't care if it feels to deep
I like it, I like it
And I know you wanna take a chance
And I know you wanna understand me
And let me in
But you runaway from what you know
And you runaway from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time show me your love tonight
There are only two places that I see
One is strong, and the other one feels so weak
And this plan feels so strange to me
It's all I see, baby
And I know you wanna let it go
And I know you wanna flow this love
But you can't
So you, runaway from what you know
And you, runaway from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time, show me your love tonight
Oh yeah, tonight
All the angels know what I know
You're an angel that sings to me
It's the greatest secret of all
I am free from thinking
But you runaway from what you know
And you runaway from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time, let's make love
Don't runaway from what you know
Don't runaway, just let it go
I don't wanna wait for you to tell me what's right
Don't fight it, let's make love tonight
Oh yeah, tonight, oh yeah, oh
Yeah, baby, oh yeah
Let's make love tonight
One is dark and it feels so hollow
And it lets me in only to swallow
To much water until I drown, baby
And the other place is calm and sweet
I can almost feel wings beneath my feet
And I don't care if it feels to deep
I like it, I like it
And I know you wanna understand me
And let me in
But you runaway from what you know
And you runaway from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time show me your love tonight
There are only two places that I see
One is strong, and the other one feels so weak
And this plan feels so strange to me
It's all I see, baby
And I know you wanna let it go
And I know you wanna flow this love
But you can't
So you, runaway from what you know
And you, runaway from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time, show me your love tonight
Oh yeah, tonight
All the angels know what I know
You're an angel that sings to me
It's the greatest secret of all
I am free from thinking
But you runaway from what you know
And you runaway from what you don't
I don't wanna wait for you to change your mind
Don't take the time, let's make love
Don't runaway from what you know
Don't runaway, just let it go
I don't wanna wait for you to tell me what's right
Don't fight it, let's make love tonight
Oh yeah, tonight, oh yeah, oh
Yeah, baby, oh yeah
Let's make love tonight
