Lyrics
Run Around Sue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Well, 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 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
Chorus
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
Chorus
