[Verse 1: Claude Kelly]
We were dancin' around the obvious
Pretending that we were oblivious
Oh to the risin' tide
And tryin' to keep our emotions in line
Spillin' our secrets and drinkin' wine
Up all through the night and into the morning light

[Pre-Chorus: Claude Kelly]
Goin' out of our way not to be first to say "I love you"

[Chorus: Claude Kelly]
What am I supposed to do with you
What am I supposed to say to you now that I let you in
Where do we begin
Now that you made me open my heart too soon
I wasn't ready and neither were you
But now it's said and done
I know that we both wanna run
But what if we give in to what we're runnin' from, mmm yеah

[Verse 2: Tamia, Claude Kelly, Both]
Mmm
We had a spark but it started slow
Hoping this thing that we had would grow into somеthing more
(Than we ever had before)
Oh, we didn’t wanna repeat the past (Oh)
So afraid that it wouldn’t last
Once it came through the door
But how are you ever sure
[Pre-Chorus: Both]
Goin' out of our way not to be first to say "I love you"

[Chorus: Both, Claude Kelly, Tamia]
So what am I supposed to do with you
And what am I supposed to say to you now that I let love in
Where do we begin
Now that you made me open my heart too soon
And I wasn't ready and neither were you
But now it's said and done
I know that we both wanna run
But what if we give in to what we're runnin' from
What are we runnin' from
What are we runnin' from

[Chorus: Both, Claude Kelly, Tamia]
So tell me what am I supposed to do with you
And what am I supposed to say to you now that I let love in
Where do we begin
Now that you made me open my heart too soon
And I wasn't ready and neither were you
But now it's said and done
I know that we both wanna run
But what if we give in to what we’re running from
What are we running from
[Outro: Both, Claude Kelly, Tamia]
I should just tell you (Ooh)
(I love you)
I love you
(I love you)
I love you too
(What are we running from)
I really do, when it’s just (Oh)
(I love you)
Three little words
(I love you) (Ooh)
That you never heard
(What are we running from)
What are we running from
When it’s just
(I love you)
I love you
(I love you)
Oh I really love you
(What are we running from)
What are we running from
(I love you)
Three little words
Three little words
(I love you)
I love you
That you never heard
(What are we running from)
What are running from
What are we running from
What are running from
I love you
Three little words
