[Verse 1]
Girl, I tried to run but couldn't get too far (Get too far)
My heart is pumping but still running in place (Running in place)
No matter how hard I try to ditch your touch (Ditch your touch)
When you're away too long, oh girl, it's too much (Girl, it's too much)

[Chorus]
'Cause every time I run I need you (Oh so fast)
I'm running scared, my heart (Is beating so fast)
I heard that you can make a man (Change his plan)
That's why I'm running fast
I'm running (The hundred yard dash)
Uh-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I ran for the hills and girl there you were
How you appeared, you see, I'll never know
I told the bartender to pour me a double fast
And light me a smoke so I can sing some jazz
Now here come them legs, here come those eyes
And neither one I could never deny
I'm trying to be smooth as I can, y'all
But I guess I need another plan
[Chorus]
I need your lovin', baby (Oh so bad)
I'm running scared, my heart (Is beating so fast)
I heard that you can make a man (Change his plan)
That's why I'm running fast
I'm running (The hundred yard dash)

[Bridge]
Your love gets stronger
And it feels like every day is getting longer
I feel your love like a monkey on my back
Girl, your heart is so big
See, I can feel the attack
Oh, oh, you got me running

[Outro]
(Hundred yard dash, baby
You're running fast and I
(Just can't shake all your lovin')
A hundred yard dash
(Hundred yard dash, baby
You're running fast and I
Just can't shake all your lovin')
A hundred yard dash
(Hundred yard dash, baby
You're running fast and I
Just can't shake all your lovin')
A hundred yard dash)
(Hundred yard dash, baby
You're running fast and I
Just can't shake all your lovin')
Everybody, a hundred yard dash, oh so fast
You got me running oh so fast
You got me running oh so fast
You got me running
You got me running oh so fast
You got me running oh so fast
You got me running and running and running
You got me running oh so fast
You got me running oh so fast
You got me running oh so fast
You got me running oh so fast
You got me running oh so fast, look at me
You got me running oh so fast
You got me running oh so fast, ow
