Chris Tucker speaks as part of the award presentation to Honorary Award recipient Jackie Chan at the 2016 Governors Awards in the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood
Yeah it’s been a long night and the mirror’s telling me to go home
But it’s been a long time since I felt this good on my own
A lot of years went by with my hands tied up in your ropes
Forever, and ever, no more
The midnight sky is the road I’m taking
Head high up in the clouds
Ohhhh
I was born to run I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
Fire in my lungs can’t bite the devil on my tongue, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
See my lips, on her mouth, everybody’s talking now baby
Ohh, you know it’s true, yeahh
That I was born to run I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
Loved by you….
La la la la la
She got her hair pulled back cause the sweat’s dripping off of her face
Said it ain’t so bad if I wanna make a couple mistakes
You should know right now that I never stay put in one place
Forever, and ever, no more
The midnight sky is the road I’m taking
Head high up in the clouds
Ohhhh
I was born to run I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
Fire in my lungs can’t bite the devil on my tongue, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
See my lips, on her mouth, everybody’s talking now baby
Ohh, you know it’s true, yeahhh
That I was born to run I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
By you….
Ohhh
I don’t hide, blurry eyes like you
Like you
I was born to run I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
Fire in my lungs can’t bite the devil on my tongue, you know
I don’t need to be loved by you
See his hands round my waist, thought you’d never be replaced baby
Ohh you know it’s true, yeah
That I was born to run I don’t belong to anyone, oh no
I don’t need to be loved by you
We found each other
I helped you out of a broken place
You gave me comfort
But falling for you was my mistake
I put you on top, I put you on top
I claimed you so proud and openly
And when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me
So call out my name (call out my name)
Call out my name when I kiss you so gently
I want you to stay (I want you to stay)
I want you to stay, even though you dont want me
Girl, why cant you wait? (Why cant you wait, baby?)
Girl, why cant you wait til I fall out of love?
Wont you call out my name? (Call out my name)
Girl, call out my name, and Ill be on my way and
Ill be on my
I said I didnt feel nothing baby, but I lied
I almost cut a piece of myself for your life
Guess I was just another pit stop
Til you made up your mind
You just wasted my time
Youre on top, I put you on top
I claimed you so proud and openly, babe
And when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me
So call out my name (call out my name, baby)
So call out my name when I kiss you
So gently, I want you to stay (I want you to stay)
I want you to stay even though you dont want me
Girl, why cant you wait? (Girl, why cant you wait til I-)
Girl, why cant you wait til I fall out of loving?
Babe, call out my name (say call out my name, baby)
Girl, call out my name, and Ill be on my way, girl
Ill be on my
On my way, all the way
On my way, all the way, ooh
On my way, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way, on my way
(On my)
