Runaway Love lyrics

[Chorus]
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love

Now little Lisa is only nine years old
She's tryin' to figure out why the world is so cold
Why she's all all alone and they never met her family
Mamas always gone and she never met her daddy

Part of her is missin' and nobody will listenin'
Mama is 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

Sneak into her room while her mamas 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 mama don't believe her

Lisa is stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but some get some clothes and pack
She says she's bout to run away and never come back.

[Chorus]

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 makin' up excuses
Bleedin' on the inside, cryin' on the out
It's only one girl really knows what she about

Her name is lil' Stacey and they become friends
Promise that they always be tight til the end
Until one day lil' Stacey gets shot
A drive by bullet went stray up on her block

Now Nicole stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but some get some clothes and pack
She says she's bout to run away and never come back.

[Chorus]

Little Erica is eleven years old
She's steady tryin' to figure why the world is so cold
So she pops x to get rid of all the pain
Plus she's havin' sex with a boy who's sixteen

Emotions run deep and she thinks she's in love
So there's no protection he's using no glove
Never thinkin' bout the consequences of her actions
Livin' for today and not tomorrows satisfaction

The days go by and her belly gets big
The father bails out he ain't ready for a kid
Knowin' her mama will blow it all outta proportion
Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion

Erica is stuck up in the 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 say she's about to run away and never come back.

[Chorus]
