Run Run Run
The Bell's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo, yo, take the window lock off
This is crazy
Move the seat up a little bit, too
I feel you, man
Where we goin'?
On a ride
That's all I need to know
Talk to 'em

It's a shame you don't treat me right
Then I stick by your side
Girl, my work is Nine to Five
To buy the things that you like
'Cause you know it's real
And you know I gots this
So baby, what's the deal?
Why you showin' off in public?

So tell me why you playin' games
I'm a man, what you say?
Speak up, 'cause girl I can't hear you
Tired of gettin' fifty percent when I'm near you

Like why I'm not givin' my all
When you act like you don't care at all
I guess I'm a sucker for love
But I believe in you, baby, so I never give up

Every time I buy you things, you play the game
You run-run-run and you run-run
Can't you see my heart's in pain when you run away?
You run-run-run and you run-run
I'm so so sick of this "give me kiss" then you split
Tell me you care, but you keep me time limited
Girl, when you run (you run-run-run, you run-run)

So tell me what I'm supposed to do
When I can have any other, but girl, I want you
And tell me what I'm supposed to say
When I tell you I love you but you run away

So stop and turn around
And receive my lovin'
I pick you off the ground
Cloud Nine, 'cause you deserve it
So many things I wanna do
But first I need to be with you
So I can make your dreams come true
But every time I try, you deny me, not cool

Like why I'm not givin' my all
When you act like you don't care at all
I guess I'm a sucker for love
But I believe in you, baby, so I never give up

Every time I buy you things, you play the game
You run-run-run and you run-run
Can't you see my heart's in pain when you run away?
You run-run-run and you run-run
I'm so so sick of this "give me kiss" then you split
Tell me you care, but you keep me time limited
Girl, when you run (you run-run-run, you run-run)

Yo, shawty, she the baddest
What you think, Mike Mann
She's thicker than your average, classic
Shawty mean, Joe Green the one
Every time I show her the good life, she run
Pull a mean town pretty black truck through the city
Red thigh-high boots, lookin' sexy and witty (ooh)
I'm on stage havin' fun with the boys in
No thoughts, I learned my lesson, man, from "Poison"
When I first saw her, I was hooked right there
She might not love me now, I gotta chase her, ain't fair
Sing to her all night, like "Can't you see?
Sometimes your words just hypnotize me"
Felicia with the ass shots, that was just a post
Got the power, baby girl, had to run it like ghost
Take notes, I taste you, look how long it took me
Built the empire, Lucious-Cookie

Every time I buy you things, you play the game
You run-run-run and you run-run
Can't you see my heart's in pain when you run away?
You run-run-run and you run-run
I'm so so sick of this "give me kiss" then you split




Tell me you care, but you keep me time limited
Girl, when you run (you run-run-run, you run-run)

Overall Meaning

The Bell's song Run Run Run is a tale of a man whose love interest is constantly running away from him despite his best efforts to make her stay. The lyrics are structured in a way that the man expresses his frustrations and love in equal measures, leaving the audience wondering if he will ever find true love. The opening lyrics "Yo, yo, take the window lock off / This is crazy / Move the seat up a little bit, too / I feel you, man / Where we goin'? / On a ride / That's all I need to know / Talk to 'em" sets the tone of the song as a conversation between two friends going on a journey.


The song's central theme is the love between the two individuals, whereby the man feels he is not being treated right by his love interest who seemingly takes him for granted. He sings about his commitment to the relationship by working nine to five to provide for her, buying her things she likes, and sticking by her side even when she treats him poorly. He is frustrated that she plays games with him instead of reciprocating his love, and every time he tries to bridge the gap, she runs away.


Despite her running away, the man still holds on to hope that they will end up together. He wants her to stop and turn around so he can show her love and make her dreams come true. He is not sure what to do because he can have any other woman, but he wants her. This song highlights the push and pull in relationships where love is not reciprocated, leaving one partner not knowing whether to keep trying or give up.
