Run Away Love Lyrics - Singles - Double

[Hook - Mary J. Blige] 

Runaway love 

Runaway love 

Runaway love 

Runaway love 

Runaway love 

Runaway love 

Runaway love 

Runaway love 

[Verse 1 - Ludacris] 

Now little Lisa is only 9 years old 

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

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

Mama's always gone and she never met her daddy 

Part of her is missing and nobody will listen 

Mama is on drugs getting high up in the kitchen 

Bringing home men at different hours of the night 

Starting with some laughs -- usually ending in a fight 

Sneak into her room while her mama's knocked out 

Trying 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 

Nothing else to do but get her clothes and pack 

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

[Hook - Mary J. Blige] 

Runaway love [x8] 

[Verse 2 - Ludacris] 

Little Nicole is only 10 years old 

She's steady trying 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 making up excuses 

Bleeding on the inside, crying 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 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 stuck up in the world on her own 

Forced to think that hell is a place called home 

Nothing else to do but get some clothes and pack 

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

[Hook - Mary J. Blige] 

Runaway love [x8] 

[Verse 3 - Ludacris] 

Little Erica is eleven years old 

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

So she pops x to get rid of all the pain 

'Cause she's having 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 thinking 'bout the consequences of her actions 

Living 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 

Knowing 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 

Nothing else to do but get her clothes and pack 

She say she's about to run away and never come back.
