Runaway love lyrics

Yeah and it go a little somethin' like this

Yeah and it go a little somethin' like this

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Now little Lisa's only nine years old

She's tryin' to figure out why the world is so cold

Why she's all alone and they never met her family

Momma's always gone and she never met her daddy

Part of her is missin' and nobody'll listen

Momma's on drugs, gettin' high up in the kitchen

Bringin' home men at different hours of the night

Startin' with some laughs, usually endin' in a fight

Sneakin' in her room when her momma's knocked out

Tryin' to have his way and little Lisa says ouch

She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her

Tries to tell her mom but her momma don't believe her

Lisa's stuck up in a world on her own

Forced to think that Hell is a place called home

Nothin' else to do but get some clothes and pack

She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Little Nicole is only ten years old

She's steady tryin' to figure why the world is so cold

Why she's not pretty and nobody seems to like her

Alcoholic step-dad always wanna strike her

Yells and abuses, leaves her with some bruises

Teachers ask questions, she's makin' up excuses

Bleedin' on the inside, cryin' on the out

It's only one girl really knows what she's about

Her name is little Stacy and they become friends

Promise that they'll always be tight 'til the end

Until one day, lil' Stacy gets shot

A drive-by bullet went stray up on her block

Now Nicole's stuck up in a world on her own

Forced to think that Hell is a place called home

Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack

She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Little Erica is eleven years old

She's steady tryin' to figure why the world is so cold

So she pops ex to get rid of all the pain

Plus she's havin' sex with her boy who's sixteen

Emotions run deep as she thinks she's in love

So there's no protection, he's usin' no glove

Never thinkin' 'bout the consequences of her actions

Livin' for today and not tomorrow's satisfaction

The days go by and her belly gets big

The father bails out, he ain't ready for a kid

Knowin' her momma would blow it all out of proportion

Plus she lives poor, so no money for abortion

Erica is stuck up in a world on her own

Forced to think that Hell is a place called home

Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack

She says she 'bout to run away and never come back

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway, runaway love

Don't keep runnin' away

I'll run away with you

If you want me to

Yeah, I can only imagine what you goin' through, ladies

Sometimes I feel like runnin' away myself

So do me a favor right now and close your eyes

And picture us runnin' away together

When we come back, everything is gonna be okay

Open your eyes
