Eric Benet – Runnin' lyrics
Running used to be the way I passed my time
All over town and just to see what I could find
Every now and then I'd find some company
But every kiss temporary
I tried to tell myself that it was just a game
I'd run again to try and ease that, lonely pain
No matter where I travelled there I'd be
Stuck in those walls of skin called me

And I was just running to find something true
And I'd just be running with nothing to prove
And I kept on running and had nothing to show
Love saw me running and said there he goes

Yeah, you caught my eye one day while I was on a run
Somehow you made me feel my life, had just begun
I'd seen the last of all my roaming days
'Cause I knew from you I'd never run away

Now you've got me running, to get home to you
And my heart keeps running, when I think of things you do
And I won't be running, to no one no more
And I'll see me running and say that's love for sure

I'm not hesitating, as soon as work is done
As fast as my legs can carry me
Mmmmh yeah, life ain't complicated
Oh, no you got only one heart, one joy, one place to be

Now I'm watching people running all around
Chasing after things that'll just, run them down
Life is so much better if they change their ways
I wish I could tell them, but you know I can't stay

'Cause I gotta get running, and get home to you
And my heart keeps running, and I think of things you do
And I won't be running to no one else, no one, no more
Love seen me running and say that's love for sure

And I just keep running, to get home to you
And my heart keeps running, when I think of things you do
And I won't be running to no one no more
Love see me running and say that's love for sure
Love see me running and say that's love for sure
Love see me running and say that's love for sure...
