[Verse 1]
Here's my story, it's sad but true
I'm the girl that he once knew
I gave my love, but he put me down
He says I'm just a run-around
[Verse 2]
I should've known from the very start
He told the fellas that I broke his heart
Now don't you listen to what he's tellin' you
I'm just a little stay-at-home Sue
[Verse 3]
I sit around with a tear on my face
He always leaves me for another's embrace
Now tell me, baby, just what would you do
Stay at home and be a stay-at-home Sue
[Chorus]
Ah, he likes to travel around
Yeah, wish that I could put him down
He says he's with the neighbourhood pals
But Dion goes out with other gals
[Post-Chorus]
Here's the moral of the story from a gal who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
If you're in love with a guy who's not true
Don't sit around and be a stay-at-home Sue
[Bridge]
Woah-ho-ho-oh
Keep away from that boy
Don't you know he's mine, mine
[Chorus]
Yeah, he likes to travel around
Yeah, wish that I could put him down
He says he's with the neighbourhood pals
But Dion goes out with other gals
[Post-Chorus]
Here's the moral of the story from a gal who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
If you're in love with a guy who's not true
Don't sit around and be a stay-at-home Sue
