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

hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy
hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy
hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy
hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy

hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy
hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy
hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy
hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy

Ah, 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

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

hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy
hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy
hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy
hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy

Ah, she likes to travel
around
She’ll love you but 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
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

She likes to travel around
She’ll love you but 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
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue
