[Verse 1]
Yeah
I was lost in her arms
Found myself in a big ole mess
And I don't know how to fix it
A woman with curves
Is still a woman with words
And to tell you the truth
I might as well had never had you

[Bridge]
I said oh oh
Oh oh
I said leave my heart alone
Keep my lovin on the low
She's runnin and runnin and runnin
From my lovin
Runnin and runnin and runnin
And I don't know where to go from here

[Hook]
Can't keep runnin forever
Can't keep runnin forever
X2

[Verse 2]
I was lost in my mind
Lookin for another reason why
I do this to myself
I made it clear
A woman with needs
Does what she need
So take everything you need from me

[Bridge]
I said oh oh
Oh oh
I said leave my heart alone
Keep my lovin on the low
(Keep my lovin on the low,)
She's runnin and runnin and runnin
From my lovin
Runnin and runnin and runnin
And I don't know where to go from here

[Verse 3]
And I don't why she leaves
She leaves in the night, please
Tell me where you're goin
Cuz you're runnin and runnin and runnin
From my lovin
Runnin and runnin and runnin
And I don't know where to go from here

[Bridge]
She said oh oh
Oh oh
I said leave my heart alone
Keep my lovin on the low
She's runnin and runnin and runnin
From my lovin
Runnin and runnin and runnin
And I don't know where to go from here

Oh oh
Oh oh
I said leave my heart alone
Keep my lovin on the low
She's runnin and runnin and runnin
From my lovin
Runnin and runnin and runnin
And I don't know where to go from here
Oh oh

​blackbear

blackbear is the stage name of LA-based producer and singer-songwriter Mat Musto, popularly known for co-writing Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend,” in 2012. Some of his first collaborations were with the likes of Pharrell Williams, MGK, and Childish Gambino. Later, Musto reinvented himself—he coined the name blackbear from a previous EP titled Year of the Blackbear. Under his new name, he started leaning more towards rapping and an R&B-oriented style.

His first mixtape Sex included collaborations with his peers James Blake, Maejor Ali, and “Boyfriend” co-writer Mike Posner. The Afterglow followed in 2014.

In 2015, blackbear released “idfc,” as the lead single from his debut album Deadroses. It increased his fan following and revenue, earning him millions of playback streams and a spot on Billboard’s Uncharted List of Undiscovered and Upcoming Artists. The second single, “90210,” included a feature from G-Eazy—blackbear made an appearance in his 2014 track, “Remember You.”
