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

I should have known it from the very start

This girl will leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue, yeah


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
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue


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 know, 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
A-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
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue, yeah


Stay away from that girl
Don't you know what to do now


Keep away from that girl
Don't you know what to do now
