I'm gonna tell a story and it's sad but true
About a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With any other 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

Oh oh woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo

I miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hair 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
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 of 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

Oh oh woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo

She likes to travel around
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 of 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

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, woh
A-keep away from-a runaround Sue

Oh oh woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo

Oh oh woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo
