Lyrics:

“Who Can I Run To” was originally sung by The Jones Girls in 1979.
Xscape’s version peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped Billboard’s R&B chart for a week in November of 1995.
As I stand here contemplating
On the right thing to decide
Will I take the wrong direction all my life?
Where will I go?
What lies ahead of me?

I have strong determination
And I'm not afraid of change
I have yet to find that someone
Who would care to satisfy me
To stay right by me, oh

Who can I run to (Who can I run to?)
To share this empty space? (Tell me)
Who can I run to
When I need love? (Oh, oh)
Who can I run to (Who can I run to?)
To fill this empty space with laughter?
Who can I run to
When I need love? (Sweet love)

In my mind, it's so confusing
Who would be that special one?
Every day, I'm trying to find you on the run
I've got to know, is there a place for me?

I know love has many meanings
And a message very clear
All it takes is time and patience
To bring it near
But who got me, tell me?

Who can I run to (Who can I run to?)
To share this empty space? (This empty space)
Who can I run to
When I need love? (Love)
Who can I run to (Who can I run to?)
To fill this empty space with laughter? (Mmm)
Who can I run to (When I need love)
When I need love? (Love, yeah)

Mmm, who can I run to?
I need love, yeah
(Who can, who can I run to?) Ooh
(Oh, when I need love) I need it, I need it
(Who can, who can I run to?) Who can I run to, oh yeah?
(When I need love) I need love, and you need love
(Who can, who can I run to?) Oh yeah, who can I run to?
(Oh, when I need love) I need love
(Who can, who can I run to?) Yeah
(When I need love)
