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, um-da-da-da-di-di
Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh

Yeah, I should have known it from the very start
This girl'll leave me with a broken heart
A listen people what I'm telling you
"A keep away from 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 Runaround Sue

Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh

She like 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've been in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew
They'll say: Keep away from Runaround Sue
Yeah, keep away from this girl Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
I don't know what she'll do Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
Keep away from Sue Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh

She like to travel around, yeah
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 and a story from that guy who knows
I've been in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew
They'll say: Keep away from Runaround Sue

Yeaah! Stay away from that girl
Don't you know what she'll do now
oooooooooohhhhh
Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh
Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh
Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh
Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh
Keep away from that girl
Don't you know
