[Intro]
Ooh baby
I'm not running
Ooh from your love

[Chorus]
(I'm not running) any more
(Running) no not like before
(I'm not running) any more
(Running)

[Verse 1]
Before you came along
I was always running
My heart kept chasing someone new
But I can feel the change coming
When my heart kept chasing after you
The love you gave has set me free
You taught me how to be me
So here I am and here I'll stay
I want you in my life in every way

[Chorus]
(I'm not running) not any more
(Running) no no no not like before
(I'm not running) any more
(Running) ooh baby
(I'm not running) not any more
(Running not like before) ooh no no no not like before
(I'm not running anymore)
(Running)

[Verse 2]
I've always said goodbye and didn't know why
Until you came along and showed me I was wrong
You were sent from heaven above
God and you taught me how to love
The love you gave has set me free
You taught me how to be me
So here I am and here I'll stay
I want you in my life in every way

[Chorus]
(I'm not running) not any more
(Running) no no no not like before
(I'm not running) babe no more
(Running) you found the key that unlock my door
(I'm not running) babe any more
(Running not like before) no baby
(I'm not running anymore)
(Running)

[Chorus]
(I'm not running) not any more
(Running) no no no not like before
(I'm not running) anymore
(Running) ooh baby
(I'm not running) not any more
(Running) you found the key that unlock my door
(I'm not running) not anymore
(Running) ooh yeah
