[Intro]
Here's my story, it's sad but true
About a girl that I once knew
She took my love and ran around
With every single guy in town

[Chorus]
Oh (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Ra-ta, ta-da-ta-da (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Oh (Hey, hey, bom-ba-dеh-deh-deh-deh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Hеy, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Ah, ah, ah)

[Verse 1]
I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
A-listen, people, what I'm tellin' you
Keep away from Runaround Sue

[Verse 2]
Her kiss, her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hand and this girl's warm embrace
So, if you don't want to cry like I do
A-keep away from Runaround Sue
[Chorus]
Oh (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Ah, ah, ah)

[Bridge]
She likes to travel around
Yes, she'll love you, and she'll put you down
Now, people, let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys

[Verse 3]
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 say
"Keep away from-a Runaround Sue"

[Chorus]
Stay away (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Yes, stay away from this girl (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
I don't know what she'll do (Hey, hey, bom-ba-deh-deh-deh-deh)
Keep away from Sue (Ah, ah, ah)

[Bridge]
She likes to travel around
Yes, she'll love you, and she'll put you down
Now, people, let me put you wise
She goes out with other guys
[Verse 3]
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 say
"Keep away from-a Runaround Sue"

[Outro]
Hey, yeah
Stay away from that girl
Oh, I don't, don't know, know what she'll do
Yeah, keep away from Sue
Yeah, hey, now
Well, keep away from that girl
Let me tell you, let me tell you what she'll do now
Yeah, keep away from Sue
