[Intro]
Why you comin’ down, like whoa?

[Verse 1]
Beemers blazin', I’m gone
Drinkin’ liquor, fucked up
Tried to call you, dial tone
(Why you comin’ down, like whoa?)
When you feel me, ice cold
Why you actin’ loco?
I’m addicted to you
(Why you comin’ down, like whoa?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh
Drivin’ through a lonely, lonely night
Thinkin’ ‘bout you
Wishing you were here to hold me tight
Wanna get out, eh-eh
I can’t seem to get you off my mind
Don’t wanna be alone, alone tonight
Don’t wanna be alone, alone tonight

[Chorus]
I don’t know how, I don’t know why
Why you keep running-a-running away
Out of my bed, out of my life
Why you keep running-a-running away
I don’t know how, I don’t know why
I just wanna make you stay
Why you such a run-a-runaway?
Why you such a run-a-runaway? (Oh)

[Verse 2]
Put it on me, don’t front
If you want it, stun gun
Gotta love me for life
(Why you comin’ down, like whoa?)
I’m addicted, pop pills
You're an upper, my thrill
Don’t you know that love kills?
(Why you comin’ down, like whoa?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh
Drivin’ through a lonely, lonely night
Thinkin’ ‘bout you
I wish that you were here to hold me tight
Wanna get out, eh-eh
I can’t seem to get you off my mind
Don’t wanna be alone, alone tonight
Don’t wanna be alone, alone tonight

[Chorus]
I don’t know how, I don’t know why
Why you keep running-a-running away
Out of my bed, out of my life
Why you keep running-a-running away
I don’t know how, I don’t know why
I just wanna make you stay
Why you such a run-a-runaway?
Why you such a run-a-runaway? (Oh)

[Bridge]
Driving through a lonely, lonely night
Thinking bout you
Wishing you were here to hold me tight
Wanna get out, eh eh
Can’t seem to get you off my mind
Don’t wanna be alone, alone tonight
Don’t wanna be alone, alone tonight

[Chorus]
I don’t know how, I don’t know why
Why you keep running-a-running away
Out of my bed, out of my life
Why you keep running-a-running away
I don’t know how, I don’t know why
I just wanna make you stay
Why you such a run-a-runaway?
Why you such a run-a-runaway? (Oh)

[Outro]
Why you comin’ down, like whoa?
Why you comin’ down, like whoa?

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
