Runaround Sue Lyrics

[Intro]
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

[Chorus]
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di)
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di)
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di, hape)
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di)
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di)
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di, hape)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I should have known it from the very start
This girl would leave me with a broken heart
Now, listen people what I'm tellin' you
I'd keep away from a Runaround Sue, yeah

[Verse 2]
I might miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hand and this girl's warm embrace
So, if you don't wanna cry like I do
I'd keep away from a Runaround Sue

[Chorus]
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di)
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di)
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di, hape)
(Ahhh)

[Bridge]
She likes to travel around, yeah
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'll say
A-keep away from a Runaround Sue

[Chorus]
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di) Yeah, keep away from this girl
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di) I know, know what she'll do
(Hape-hape, bum-da-hey-di-hey-di, hape) Keep away from Sue
(Ahhh)

[Bridge]
She likes to travel around, yeah
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'll tell ya
A-keep away from a Runaround Sue, yeah

[Outro]
Stay away from that girl
Don't you know what she'll do now
Whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Keep away from that girl
Don't you know
