So you better run and run runaway, runaway baby. Your poor little heart will end up alone, because Lord knows I'm a rolling stone. You better get get get away, get away darling because everything you've heard is true. Runaway, baby, before I put my spell on you. To every girl that I meet here, this is what I say. You'll tell me, baby baby please don't go away. But little does she know that I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing, because at the end of the night it is her I'll be holding. Oh looky here, looky here, ah what do we have? Another pretty thing ready for me to grab.
#BRUNO MARS SONGS JUST THE WAY YOU ARE FREE#
He also creates songs that break free of any sort of easy category, such as the urgent pop-rock-soul of "Runaway Baby." What girl could resist such a promise, especially when it comes swirled inside such a creamy melody? Mars is one of the most potent examples of the current movement to restore rhythm-and-blues crooning to a prominent place within hip-hop beats. It's hard to resist the clever come-on refrain of the song I just played, I'd catch a grenade for you. It's the voice of a young pro, an entertainer fully in command of his phrasing. TUCKER: Mars sings with the sort of serene assurance that both excites and puts you at ease. Yes, I would die for you baby, but you won't do the same. I would go through all the pain, take a bullet straight through my brain. To give me all your love is all I ever ask because, what you don't understand is I'd catch a grenade for you. Gave you what I had and you tossed it in the trash, you tossed it in the trash, you did. Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss had your eyes wide open. Oh take, take, take it all but you never give. MARS: (Singing) Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live. For all this, he still sounds like some kind of angel. He's appeared on "Saturday Night Live" and already undergone his first career scandal: a September arrest for alleged illegal-drug possession. His debut album, "Doo-Wops and Hooligans," has yield a number one hit single, "Just the Way You Are," and he's co-produced recent hits for artists ranging from Cee-Lo Green to Travie McCoy. KEN TUCKER: Bruno Mars is the man of the moment, and a man who wants to be timeless. She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day. Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying. BRUNO MARS (Musician): (Singing) Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining. (Soundbite of song, "Just the Way You Are") Rock critic Ken Tucker says Mars' new album, "Doo-Wops and Hooligans," shows just how much he has grown up. He was a child when he appeared fleetingly as an Elvis impersonator in the film "Honeymoon in Vegas." His real name is Peter Hernandez and he grew up in Hawaii. Bruno Mars is a 25-year-old singer-songwriter and producer who has worked on hit singles for numerous hip-hop and R&B artists.
