Dion & The Belmonts - Runaround Sue, 1961

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

Yeah 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 might 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 want to cry like I do A keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Ah, she likes to travel around 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 fell in love and my love still grows Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Yeah keep away from this girl I don't know what she'll doe Keep away from Sue
