Ludacris Feat. Mary J. Blige - Runaway Love lyrics
rate meYeah and it go a little somethin' like this<br />
Yeah and it go a little somethin' like this<br />
<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
<br />
Now little Lisa's only nine years old<br />
She's tryin' to figure out why the world is so cold<br />
Why she's all alone and they never met her family<br />
Momma's always gone and she never met her daddy<br />
<br />
Part of her is missin' and nobody'll listen<br />
Momma's on drugs, gettin' *** up in the kitchen<br />
Bringin' home men at different hours of the night<br />
Startin' with some laughs, usually endin' in a fight<br />
<br />
Sneakin' in her room when her momma's knocked out<br />
Tryin' to have his way and little Lisa says ouch<br />
She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her<br />
Tries to tell her mom but her momma don't believe her<br />
<br />
Lisa's stuck up in a world on her own<br />
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home<br />
Nothin' else to do but get some clothes and pack<br />
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back<br />
<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
<br />
Little Nicole is only ten years old<br />
She's steady tryin' to figure why the world is so cold<br />
Why she's not pretty and nobody seems to like her<br />
Alcoholic step-dad always wanna strike her<br />
<br />
Yells and abuses, leaves her with some bruises<br />
Teachers ask questions, she's makin' up excuses<br />
Bleedin' on the inside, cryin' on the out<br />
It's only one girl really knows what she's about<br />
<br />
Her name is little Stacy and they become friends<br />
Promise that they'll always be tight 'til the end<br />
Until one day, lil' Stacy gets shot<br />
A drive-by bullet went stray up on her block<br />
<br />
Now Nicole's stuck up in a world on her own<br />
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home<br />
Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack<br />
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back<br />
<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
<br />
Little Erica is eleven years old<br />
She's steady tryin' to figure why the world is so cold<br />
So she pops *** to get rid of all the pain<br />
Plus she's havin' sex with her boy who's sixteen<br />
<br />
Emotions run deep as she thinks she's in love<br />
So there's no protection, he's usin' no glove<br />
Never thinkin' 'bout the consequences of her actions<br />
Livin' for today and not tomorrow's satisfaction<br />
<br />
The days go by and her belly gets big<br />
The father bails out, he ain't ready for a kid<br />
Knowin' her momma would blow it all out of proportion<br />
Plus she lives poor, so no money for abortion<br />
<br />
Erica is stuck up in a world on her own<br />
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home<br />
Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack<br />
She says she 'bout to run away and never come back<br />
<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
<br />
Runaway, runaway love<br />
Don't keep runnin' away<br />
I'll run away with you<br />
If you want me to<br />
<br />
Yeah, I can only imagine what you goin' through, ladies<br />
Sometimes I feel like runnin' away myself<br />
So do me a favor right now and close your eyes<br />
And picture us runnin' away together<br />
When we come back, everything is gonna be okay<br />
Open your eyes<br />
<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
Runaway love, runaway love<br />
