Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love

Now little Lisa is only nine years old
Shes tryin to figure out why the world is so cold
Why shes all 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 listenin
Mama is on drugs gettin high up in the kitchen
Bringin home men at different hours of the night
Startin with 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 some 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 shes not pretty and nobody seems to like her
Alcooholic 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 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’s stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothin’ else to do but some 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 Erica is eleven years old
Shes steady tryin’ to figure why the world is so cold
So she pops x to get rid of all the pain
Cause 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 tomorrows 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 ’bout to run away and never come back.

Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love…

Lyrics

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame

You say one love, one life (one life)
It’s one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you darling, if you don’t care for it

Mary

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouths?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it’s too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We’re one, but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One…

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it’s all I got
We’re one, but we’re not the same
Since we, hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
You ask for me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can’t keep holding on
To what you got
Cos all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we’re not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One…
One love
