Here?s my story, it?s sad but true 
A5 
It?s about a girl that I once knew 
F5 
She took my love, then ran around 
G5 
With every single guy in town 
 

C5 
Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di 
A5 
Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di 
F5 
Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di 
G5 
Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh 
 

C5 
I guess I should have known it from the very start 
A5 
This girl would leave me with a broken heart 
F5 
Now listen people what I'm telling you 
G5 
"I keep away from Runaround Sue" 
 
Her amazing lips and the smile from her face 

The touch of her hand and this girl?s warm embrace 

So if you don't want to cry like I do 

Keep away from Runaround Sue. 
 

F5 
She like to travel around 
       C5 
She?ll love you, then she?ll put you down 
     F5 
Now, people let me put you wise 
G5 
She goes out with other guys 
 
And the moral of the story from the guy who knows 

I?ve been in love and my love still grows 

Ask any fool that she ever knew 

they'll say: Keep away from Runaround Sue
