Here’s my story, sad but true
It’s about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town


Yeah, I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
A-listen people what I’m telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Yeah…I miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hand and this girl’s warm embrace
So if you don’t wanna cry like I do
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

 

Whoa…

Ah, she likes to travel around
Yeah, She’ll love you and she’ll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys


Here’s the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they’ll say
A-Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

 

Yeah, Keep away from this girl

I don’t know what she’ll do

Keep away from Sue



She likes to travel around
Yeah…She’ll love you and she’ll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
She goes out with other guys


Here’s the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they’ll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

 

Yeah, Stay away from that girl

Don’t you know what she’ll do now

Whoa…
