Rick James (born James Ambrose Johnson, Jr.; February 1, 1948 – August 6, 2004) was an American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer, best known for being the major popularizer of funk music in the late 1970s and early 1980s thanks to million-selling hits such as "You and I" (1978), "Give It to Me Baby" (1981) and "Super Freak" (1981), the latter song crossing him over to pop audiences and selling over three million copies, later contributing to the success of rapper MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" (1990), which James sued to be credited for.

I am, I, I feel
I am, I

I close my eyes and make a wish
For inner peace and tranquility inside
My mind, I feel it's changing
Breaking down the defenses of my heart

It's like a new adventure
And this is my life
No longer know the girl inside
The stranger in my mind

I'm running away, running away from you
Though I beg you to stay, I'm running away from you
I'm running away

From predictable, Miss Reliable, so methodical
Wanna be individual and original
So radical and desirable

Put a message in a bottle
Watch it sail across the ocean blue
So free of limitations
A vision, I can only fantasize

I'm floating in a new direction
As this is my life
No longer know the girl inside
The stranger in my mind

I'm running away, I'm running away from you
Though I beg you to stay, I'm running away from you
I'm running away

From predictable, Miss Reliable, so methodical
Wanna be individual and original
So radical and desirable

No longer know the girl inside
No longer know the girl inside
No longer know the girl inside
The stranger in my mind

I'm running away, I'm running away, running away from you
Though I beg you to stay, I'm running away from you
I'm running away

From predictable, Miss Reliable, so methodical
Wanna be individual and original
So radical and desirable

Running away, I'm running away from you
Though I beg you to stay, I'm running away from you
Running away

I am, I, I feel
I am, I
