Lyrics
You made her, persuade her
You influenced or convinced her
But still she's miles away
Despite your efforts, she remains distant
She crossed her fingers
She's being deceptive or hopeful
Won't look back at yesterday
She avoids dwelling on the past
Sometimes you feel you can run back into her arms
Yearning to return to her embrace
You made her, persuade her
Reiterating your influence or persuasion
Don't let her slip away
Urging not to let her go
Don't let her slip away
Repeating the plea not to let her slip away
Just a little more baby, can't you see
Pleading for a bit more commitment
You're running away
She's distancing herself
Just a little more baby, stay with me
Requesting her to stay with you
You're running away
Emphasizing her act of running away
You're running away
Repeating the notion of her escape
You're running away
Emphasizing her departure
Surrender, protect her
Offering protection and surrendering emotionally
I gave myself away
Giving oneself fully in the relationship
She rolls her eyes at all the stupid things I say
Her dismissive reaction to your words
Sometimes I feel I can't run back into her arms
Feeling unable to return to her affection
I made her, forgave her
Stating your role in the relationship
But some things never change
Despite forgiveness, some aspects remain unchanged
Don't let her slip away
Reiterating the plea not to let her go
Just a little more baby, can't you see
Pleading for a little more commitment
You're running away
Reiteration of her distancing actions
Just a little more baby, stay with me
Asking her to stay despite the separation
You're running away
Emphasizing her act of running away
You're running away
Repeating the notion of her escape
You're running away
Emphasizing her departure
And you know you've got me running
Expressing the impact of her actions on you
Got me thinking 'bout the other side
Contemplating the consequences or alternatives
And you know you've got me hoping
Acknowledging the hope for her presence
Got me praying, need you by my side
Praying for her companionship
Oh baby
An emotional plea, possibly desperation
Just a little more baby, can't you see
Pleading for a bit more commitment
You're running away
Reiteration of her distancing actions
Just a little more baby, stay with me
Asking her to stay despite the separation
You're running away
Emphasizing her act of running away
You're running away
Repeating the notion of her escape
You're running away
Emphasizing her departure
