Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walked in for a good time, had me at hello
Tried to steal me from my girl, cause you wanted me alone
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause you never met a girl like me
And you said you know how to treat a lady
Hurry up, speed it up, no time for shows
I said i'm leaving, in the morning
And you can love me, till i'm gone

If you're catchin' feelings, in the morning
I'll be on my way back home
Ooh, ooh na na na na na
Can you make me wanna stay, ohh
Ooh, ooh na na na na
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Ooh, ooh na na na na
You got my heart on holiday, ohh
When you're holding me, when you're holding me
Na, na, na, no, no
ooh
Na, na, na
i'm leaving, i'm leaving
Ooh
Na, na, na
You wanna kiss me on the beach, so take me to the coast
You wanna ride, ride, ride in your jeep let's go
Oh, no, no bae
There's so many things we could see
And you wanna do it all with me, yeah
Speed it up, no time for shows
I said i'm leaving, in the morning
And you can love me, till i'm gone
If you're catchin' feelings, in the morning
I'll be on my way back home
Ooh, ooh na na na na na
Can you make me wanna stay, ohh
Ooh, ooh na na na na
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Ooh, ooh na na na na
You got my heart on holiday, ohh
When you're holding me, when you're holding me
Don't get me wrong
Baby
You turn me on, the way you are
But soon i'll be gone, I'll be on my way
Heey
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Ooh, ooh na na na na na
Can you make me wanna stay, ohh
Ooh, ooh na na na na
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Ooh, ooh na na na na
You got my heart on holiday, ohh

When you're holding me, when you're holding me
Na, na, na, no, no
