Lyrics

[Intro]

Here's my story, it's 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

[Verse 1]

Yeah, I should have known it from the very start

This girl will leave me with a broken heart

Ah, listen people what I'm telling you

Ah, keep away from-a Runaround Sue, yeah

[Verse 2]

I might 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

Ah, keep away from-a Runaround Sue

[Bridge]

She like to travel around, yeah

She'll love you, and she'll put you down

Now, people let me put you wise

Ah, Sue goes out with other guys

[Verse 3]

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

"Ah, keep away from-a Runaround Sue"

[Bridge]

Yeah, keep away from this girl

I know, know what she'll do

Keep away from Sue

[Bridge]

She like to travel around, yeah

She'll love you, and she'll put you down

Now, people let me put you wise

Ah, she goes out with other guys

[Verse 4]

Here's the moral and the story from that guy who knows

I fell in love, and my love still grows

Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say

"Ah, keep away from-a Runaround Sue", hey, yeah

[Outro]

Stay away from that girl

Don't you know what she'll do, now

Keep away from that girl
