Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, don't fall, run away, run away
Ooh, don't fall, run away, run away
Now ooh, don't fall, run away, run away
Baby, ooh, don't fall, run away, run away
Ooh, don't fall, run away, run away
Ooh, don't fall, run away, run away

Don't want the best of you, but I want the pearl
Open your treasure and come into my world
Say baby
You knocking, you knocking, you knocking, your hands are sore
Baby
You trying, you trying, you trying the hardest gloves
Baby
You falling, you falling, you dabbing, it's too deep, oh yeah oh yeah

It ain't your fault, my lady
That the time is not for us
Don't you go leave me
Your presence is way too good
At least I'm honest about it all
Don't you know? Girl, you know, ah

Too little, to love
But I've been loving with you loving me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me

Too little, to love
But I've been loving with you loving me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me

I feel I hate to break it down so cold
Ooh shit, so cold
But I don't wanna give you false hopes
Hopes, false hopes
Even your friends were saying I'm so wrong
So wrong, so wrong
Though I know in my heart you got it
I ain't giving you nothing but lovin'

See it ain't your fault, my lady
That time is not for us
Don't you go leave me
Your presence is way too good
At least I'm honest about it all
Don't you know, don't you know

Too little, to love
But I've been loving with you loving me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me

Too little, to love
But I've been loving with you loving me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me
Keep runnin', runnin', runnin' runnin' for me

I know it's not easy, easy, yeah
Not easy, yeah
Said I know it's not easy, easy yeah
Not easy, yeah
Said I know it's not easy, easy
At least you where know we stand
Telling the truth like a gentleman
Telling the truth, I'm a gentleman

Ooh, don't fall, run away, run away
Ooh, don't fall, run away, run away
Now ooh, don't fall, run away, run away
Baby, ooh, don't fall, run away, run away

I ain't ready to retire
I ain't ready to tie down
Even though you take me higher wow
Take me high above the ground
I love the way you, way you
Way you tell me with love
Oh but either way, I don't wanna tie down

Too little, to love
But I've been loving with you loving me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me

Too little, to love
But I've been loving with you loving me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me
Keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'

Too little, to love
But I've been loving with you loving me
Keep runnin', runnin' from me
Keep runnin', runnin', for me

Too little, to love
But I've been loving with you loving me




Keep runnin', runnin' from me
Keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' for me

“Life, he realized, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.”

this is so heartbreakin', he knows he can't love her, he loves the way she makes him feel. She is in love, but it can't she is the one building dreams in something that can't be, he just love her presence, her light, he can't leave her so she must go because she's too damn good for him.
What a smooth and groovy way to break someone's heart.
