Yeah and it go a little somethin' like this
Yeah and it go a little somethin' like this

Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love

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

Part of her is missin' and nobody'll listen
Momma's on drugs, gettin' *** up in the kitchen
Bringin' home men at different hours of the night
Startin' with some laughs, usually endin' in a fight

Sneakin' in her room when her momma'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 momma don't believe her

Lisa's stuck up in a 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 back

Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love

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

Her name is little Stacy and they become friends
Promise that they'll 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's stuck up in a 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 back

Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love

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

Emotions run deep as 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 momma would blow it all out of proportion
Plus she lives poor, so no money for abortion

Erica is stuck up in a 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 'bout to run away and never come back

Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love

Runaway, runaway love
Don't keep runnin' away
I'll run away with you
If you want me to

Yeah, I can only imagine what you goin' through, ladies
Sometimes I feel like runnin' away myself
So do me a favor right now and close your eyes
And picture us runnin' away together
When we come back, everything is gonna be okay
Open your eyes

Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love

    Not a bad song musically, but the lyrics are terrible.

    Child abuse is a problem, but this song is a melodramatic and unrealistic celebration of child abuse. The only people who will pretend to connect with the content in this song are attention-whoring teens who claim their parents or a friend's parents are abusive (tough luck if make you clean your room).

    It's a shame that they didn't focus on the realistic, subtle abuse that occurs more frequently. Instead, the truly abused are ignored in favor of hollywood style sob stories.

    so? whats your point? what u mean by sayin that the song does not talk about "realistic: child abuse, the situations in the song are pretty common and painful, thats my opinion ans i say it to not just defend the song. Im not trying to argue i just want to know why u think like that, and that way i will comprehend your point of u

    THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!! it's kinda sad, cuz i kno how some of those kids would've felt in a situation like that. i've run away twice in 3 months, and my mom is on drugs, but doesn't know i know. and she's also abusive.
    "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."
    sad, cuz my name's Nicole and my only friend's name is Tracey.

    Hey, I'll be your friend. My name is Breigh ( Pronounced Bree) . I totaly know what you mean. When I was small, as in 9, my mom and step dad were doing ****s and drank. I was physically abused, along with my sister whho was sexually abused. I was taken from my family when i was nine because of ****s, alchohal, filthy home and abuse towards my sister and I. I'll run away with you.
