Running Up Lyrics by Sowdy

Shine!

2019

[Intro: Andrea Onamade]
Want that type of love that you see on '90s TV
The type of love that makes you want to believe
That type that makes you want to pick up and see
What would happen if I dialled 33
Running up my phone bill, running my emotions
Trynna get a boo who will, really, really notice
Sounds cliche, but I gotta focus

[Chorus: Andrea Onamade]
I be running up my phone bill
I be running up my phone bill
I be running up my phone bill
I be running up my phone bill (Yeah)

[Verse 1: Sowdy]
Running up my phone bill, you say I don't call you
Every day I wake up, think bout we gon' do
Every day I hold you, every day I know you
What would happen if I disappeared
And I got emotions, masculines ain't open
Say I am your man, but you dodging all the focus
Blossomed like a lotus, grew together coping
With all of the damn stress, now we eloping
And I know your ex, he be leading you and treating you wrong
That's why we here together, and I wrote you this song
To clear the fact from the fiction, when the friction gets gone
We blend together smoother than our voice on this song
I'ma be your best friend, years we be texting
It don't really bother that you never saw my message
Running up phone bill, now we face to facing
Hit you every day still, trynna catch a blessing, a lesson

[Chorus: Andrea Onamade]
I be running up my phone bill
I be running up my phone bill
I be running up my phone bill
I be running up my phone bill (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Sowdy]
Running up my phone bill, there's no data left
Feel like this the 90's, we don't even talk through text
Feel like I'm a part of you, division isn't real
Feel like I can start with you and build a hundred mil
You blow me lots of kisses, tell me all your wishes
Feel like this is child's play, but I'm not on the fences
Is you gonna grow up? Is you gonna love me?
Is you gonna show me? Is you gonna uhhh me?
And I must say, this is harder than the movies make it
I could show you how you special, this ain't ordinary
I could show you a baddie, is you Halle Berry
I got cheddar to get, and me and you gon' cut it
Who the man think he is, that looking at you
Why he stand still, dead straight, like a statue
You don't even bat an eye, you don't look back, true
Eyes on me, and you, we lock, that's factual (Ahhh)

[Bridge: Andrea Onamade]
Want that type of love that you see on '90s TV
The type of love that makes you want to believe
That type that makes you want to pick up and see
What would happen if I dialled 33
Running up my phone bill, running my emotions
Trynna get a boo who will, really, really notice
Sounds cliche, but I gotta focus

[Chorus: Andrea Onamade]
I be running up my phone bill
I be running up my phone bill
I be running up my phone bill
I be running up my phone bill (Yeah)

[Outro: Andrea Onamade & Sowdy]
I be running up my phone bill (Mmhmm)
I be running up my phone bill (Mmhmm)
I be running up my phone bill (Up my phone bill)
I be running up my phone bill, yeah (Up my, up my, up my phone bill)
