"Runaway" Songs

Every now and then, I publish a bunch of posts all at once. This is obviously one of those times. These are "Runaway" Songs. Also, obviously. Enjoy!  ~  JH



 1)  Post Malone  ~  "Circles"  (You may be thinking, why on earth would this guy start off a post of "Runaway" songs with one that doesn't even have that word in the title? Good question! First off, this was the song that originally inspired the post. Secondly, I could have sworn its title was actually "Runaway," due to the word's near-constant repetition in the chorus. So, there you have it!)

Songs About Things Girls Like

Okay, so the title of this one might be a little misleading. These may not ALL be Songs About Things Girls Like, but the phrase "Girls Like" does appear in the title of every song in this list. Enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Custard  ~  "Girls Like That (Don't Go For Guys Like Us)"  (He's probably right.)

2)  Hayley Kiyoko  ~  "Girls Like Girls"  (It's true. Some of them do.)

3)  Maroon 5 ft. Cardi B  ~  "Girls Like You"  (Girls also like Adam Levine. At least my wife sure does!)

4)  The Hold Steady  ~  "Girls Like Status"  (Probably a bit of a generalization on this guy's part.)

5)  The Cribs  ~  "Girls Like Mystery"  (That's not that much of a stretch.)

6)  Kip Moore  ~  "More Girls Like You"  (Aww, what a sweet song! Girls will probably like it.)

7)  The Naked And Famous  ~  "Girls Like You"  (Some girls are famous because of being naked. But that's another story entirely.)

8)  Freya  ~  "Why Girls Like Me Eat Boys Like You"  (This is...kind of...scary, actually.)

9)  Amber Lawrence  ~  "Women Like Me Don't Like Girls Like You" (Guys like girls who know what they don't like.)

10)  Pelle Carlberg  ~  "Clever Girls Like Clever Boys Much More Than Clever Boys Like Clever Girls"  (Clever title. And lengthy.)

11)  Bonnie Hayes & The Wild Combo  ~  "Girls Like Me"  (Wow, "Valley Girl." Now there's a movie I haven't seen in a VERY long time! Not that you care.)

12)  Pistol Annies  ~  "Girls Like Us"  (Girls like three-part harmonies. And they're very adept at them, too!)

13)  Jadyn Maria ft. Flo Rida  ~  "Good Girls Like Bad Boys"  (That does seem to be the case a lot.)

14)  Liza Minnelli  ~  "Boys And Girls Like You And Me"  (I couldn't cut this song from the mix. You'll see why in the intro to it.)

15)  Tanya Tucker  ~  "Girls Like Me"  (Let's close this one out on a sad note. Because that's how I roll, yo!)
