Open up the page, I'mma need a new start.
'Tryna find the light but the way seems dark
when i try to run i just run into ya
feeling like a ghost i'm just running through ya.
when i hear you call, two fingers in the air, doces.
every night, live it up, feels right it's not to give it up
but in the end, this ain't nothing but circles
i keep on running, running, running
i keep on running, running, running
i keep on running, running, running
from you
i keep on running, running, running
i keep on running, running, running
i keep on running, running, running
from you, from you, from you
why you running? why you running? why you running my dear?
moving like a roller coaster up and down 'inna 'd air
Is the one who truly care
'wha put the the gun inna 'yuh ear
He would treat u much nicer that the prince of bellair
change your lifestyle and your attitude
come back baby girl with some gratitude
Don't make them pour you away like them crazy dudes
Use the sweet smell aroma 'fi set the mood
Girl, do you remember when your mama use to pray
she ask god 'fi guide you each and everyday
it don't matter if you back slide
them 'a love you anyway
come back babygirl it's 'gonna be okay
yeah
God him say 'im never let me go
Tired 'ah the rides and the merry go
god 'im say 'im never let me go
'mi tired 'ah the rides and the merry go
i keep 'runnin
(Come back home)
i keep 'runnin, i keep 'runnin, i keep 'runnin
this time i'm running, running, running
i'll keep on running, running, running
i'll keep on running, running, running
to you
i'll keep on running, running, running
i'll keep on running, running, running
i'll keep on running, running, running
to you, to you, to you
i want to see you smile
yes that's right
even though 'you been running for a while
i want to see you smile




yes that's right
even though 'you been running for a while
