Lyrics “Run With U” by Mamagama
Rhythm pulls me out
Don’t know where to start
You electrify
Never felt so high
Every glance you’re giving
Every move, I’m feeling
I cannot resist
Pure in every twist
Shall we dim the lights?
Leave our fears behind
Play wrong till it’s right
Give it all tonight
Heartbeat takes control
Moves my body and soul
Just one look at me
And I can’t stand the heat
Shadows in the neon light
The night is young, the beat is tight
Something in the air that makes me fall for you
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
No matter what you do tonight
I wanna run with you
I wanna run with you
No matter what you do tonight
I wanna run with you
I wanna run with you
(Running)
(With me)
(Running)
(Let’s go)
Shooting to the stars
Can’t get enough, so far
You made me feel brand new
Never felt this true
Every laugh you’re giving
Every touch I’m living
I can’t pull away
Caught up in the play
Shall we dim the lights?
Leave our fears behind
Play wrong till it’ѕ right
Give it all
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
The way I do, aha
No matter what you do tonight
I wanna run with you
I wanna run with you
No matter what you do tonight
I wanna run with you
I wannа run with yo
