Runaround 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 know
She took my love then ran around
With every sing guy in town
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
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 (yeh)
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
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 (yeh)
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 a story from the guy who knows
I fell in love but my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
A-keep away from-a runaround sue
