Girl, baby
What gave it away?
You had something on your mind
That you didn't know how to say

Oh, how can I love you if you keep running away?
(If you keep running away)
Doing everything in my power to make, to make you stay
(Make you stay, make you stay)
Hey baby, keep running away
Whoa
Check it out, see what I'm all about
And in your mind, you can have no doubt, have no doubt
All ya do is check it out
Whoo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Your vibes, baby, let me tell you about 'em
Is what I kept feeling inside
I was trying to be a stubborn kind of fella
But I kept holding, holding back my pride

How can we make love to each other if you keep running away?
(If you keep running away)
Doing everything in my heart to make you stay. (Make you stay, make you stay)
Doing everything in my power to make, to make you stay
Hey baby, can't stop running away
Whoa
Check it out, see what I'm all about
Don't have to listen to your friends, 'cause you'll find out
All ya do is check it out
Whoo, ooh, ooh
Get on down
You'll have to get up if you want to get on down
I'll give you my love
And I'll put it where you want it
But you gotta stick around

How can I make love to you if you keep running away?
(If you keep running away) Whoa
Doing everything in my power to make, to make you stay
(Make you stay, make you stay) Girl, pick it up
Let it lay, let it lay, ohhh
Check it out, see what I'm all about
And in your mind, you can have no doubt, have no doubt
All ya do is check it out
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hmmm, oh, oh, oh, oh
Get on up, get on down
Oh, I'll be around when your sun goes down
Hey baby, gotta, gotta, gotta...
Whoo, hoo, ooh, ooh
Hey, come here, oh yeah, yeah
Oh baby, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, baby
