Runaway [bad word] love
Runaway [bad word] 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 alone and ain't 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 [bad word] getting high up in the kitchen
Bringing home men at different hours of the night
Starting with some laughs -- usually ending in a fight
Sneaking in 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 [bad word] is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get some clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout [bad word] away and [bad word] back.

[Hook - Mary J. [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 little Stacy and they [bad word] friends
Promise that they always be tight 'til the end
Until one day little Stacy gets shot
drive by bullet went stray up on her block
Now Nicole stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that [bad word] is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get her clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout [bad word] away and [bad word] back.

[Hook - Mary J. [bad word] 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
Plus she's having  with a boy who's sixteen [bad word] 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 [bad word] is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get her clothes and pack
She say she's about [bad word] away and [bad word] back.

[Hook - Mary J. [bad word] love
Don't keep [bad word] 
Runnin' [4x]
Don't keep [bad word] [x]
I know how you feel, I've been there
I [bad word]  away too

I [bad word] away with you [2x] [bad word] Runaway Love
Don't [bad word] away [bad word] away with you, if you want me too

[Outro - Ludacris:]
Yea, I can only image what you're going through ladies,
Sometimes I feel [bad word] away myself,
So do me a favor right now and close your eyes,
And picture [bad word] away together,
when [bad word] back everything is gonna be okay,
Open your eyes.......
