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