Here's my story, it's sad but true
About a girl that I once knew
She took my love then she ran around
With every guy in town

I should have known it from the very start
This girl would leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
Keep away from Runaround Sue, 'cause

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
Keep away from 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, yeah
Sue goes out with other guys

Here's the moral in 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 tell you
Keep away from Runaround Sue, 'cause

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
Keep away from Runaround Sue, 'cause

She likes to travel around
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 in 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 tell you
Keep away from Runaround Sue
