Runnin’ Songtext
von Kelis

I became a runner
Like a river through your fingers
No one′s catching me
We'll count one victory
Best out of the three

I became a runner
So they couldn′t say she'll never fly
She don't have wings
I didn′t need them
′Cause you would push the swing

I became a runner
To escape the fame
I still don't wanna play
A lion will never change

I became a runner
But I′m not afraid
Probably a big mistake
I never liked the cage


How can I forget you?
You're never late
You′re always right there at my rescue
How could I reject you?
You are my cave that keeps me safe
You are my refuge

I became a runner
Like the words you didn't stutter
Right before the jab
That′s not what you meant
Now you lost a friend

I became a runner
Like the dream that pulled you under
Just before the day
Sure, that's all that's left
Better than regret

I became a runner
Need a shoe built to last
So I can speed by the past
And never face the facts

I became a runner
Oh I, I became a runner
Oh I, I became a runner
Oh I, I became a runner


How can I forget you?
You′re never late
You′re always right there at my rescue
How could I reject you?
You are my cave that keeps me safe
You are my refuge

Fear beats me to the punch
And my heart would know
So I begin to run
So fast, and I don't feel my feet
I′m going in circles
And I can't seem to reach your hand

How can I forget you?
You′re never late
You're always right there at my rescue
How could I reject you?
You are my cave that keeps me safe
You are my refuge

How can I forget you?
You′re never late
You're always right there at my rescue
How could I reject you?
You are my cave that keeps me safe
You are my refuge
