From the recording Velvet Circuit — Vol. 2 💿
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I step in, soft steps, silk on the floor
White walls, big tune, and you want more
Mi phone light blink, but I don't chase
I keep mi cool inna that long face
You say "come now" with a London grin
Mi say "hold tight" and I slide back in
All this hush, but mi eyes stay loud
One look from me and you lean from crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
Mm, you feel that pull?
I get you off-kilter
Mm, yuh look too sure
Till mi get closer, yeah
[Chorus]
Run up mi name
Run up mi name
I make your heart behave
Run up mi name
Run up mi name
You know I set the wave
[Verse 2]
Late-night sweet talk, but I keep it clean
Sharp little laugh when you cross my beam
You move too fast, then you miss the mark
I leave bright sparks in your quiet dark
Mi seh "watch now," you forget your line
Gold on my wrist and a bad little shine
I don't beg, no, I don't fold
I just turn heads when the room get cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Mm, you feel that pull?
I get you off-kilter
Mm, yuh look too sure
Till mi get closer, yeah
[Chorus]
Run up mi name
Run up mi name
I make your heart behave
Run up mi name
Run up mi name
You know I set the wave
[Breakdown]
Pull back
Hands up
Clap with me now
Pull back
Hands up
Say it out loud
[Chorus]
Run up mi name
Run up mi name
I make your heart behave
Run up mi name
Run up mi name
You know I set the wave
[Outro]
Mi stay like this
Too bright, too brave
Run up mi name
And watch it stay
