Same smile that got me turned into an evil grin
The same hands that held me
Tried to drown me in a pool of sin, oh
Same lips that kissed me cursed my life, told me lies
Mama tried to warn me this would cause a bad sore tide

I told myself ooo, stay away, ooo, stay away
(If you really love me then you gotta stay away)
I told myself ooo, stay away, ooo, stay away
(If you really love me then you'll help me stay away from)

Any love that ain't from above
Any love that ain't from above
Any love that ain't from above
That ain't from above
Any love that ain't from above
Any love that ain't from above
Any love that ain't from above
That ain't from above

When you said it's over, he said it's just begun
And I know in his love he'd never send me anyone
Who's not cold, who's not a date
Why would I entertain? That's not love

So I'm saying ooo, stay away, ooo, stay away
(If you really love me then you gotta stay away)
And I'm saying ooo, stay away, ooo, stay away
(If you really love me then you'll help me stay away from)

Then you'd help me stay away from
Then you'd help me stay away from
Ooo, stay away, ooo, stay away
(If you really love me then you'll help me stay away from)
Ooo, stay away, ooo, stay away
(If you really love me then you'll help me stay away from)
Ooo, stay away, ooo, stay away
(If you really love me then you'll help me stay away from)

Run away, run away, gotta run away from
Gotta run away from ya, gotta run away from ya
It ain't real love, no, no
Run away, run away
