Runaway Love (Ft. Mary J. Blige)

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway loveNow little Lisa is only nine years old

Shes tryin' to figure out why the world is so cold

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

Mama's always gone, and she never met her daddy

Part of her is missin' and nobody will listen

Mama 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 mama'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 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 get some clothes and pack

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

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway loveLittle 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' Stacy, and they become friends

Promise that they'll always be tight till the end

Until one day lil' Stacy 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 get her clothes and pack

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

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway loveLittle 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 a boy who's sixteen

Emotions run deep, and 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 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 backRunaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway love

Runaway loveRunaway, runaway love

Don't keep runnin' away

I'll runaway with you if you want me to

LoveYeah, I can only imagine

What you going through, ladies

Sometimes I feel like running away myself

So do me a favor right now

And close your eyes, and picture us running away together

And when we come back, everything is going to be okay

Open your eyes
