Runaround Sue

C
Here’s my story, it’s sad but true
Am
It’s about a girl that I once knew
F
She took my love, then ran around
G
With every single guy in town

C
Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
Am
Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
F
Hey, hey, um-da-da-da-di-di
G
Hey, hey, oooooooooohhhhh

C
I guess I should have known it from the very start
Am
This girl would leave me with a broken heart
F
Ask any fool that she ever knew
              G
They’ll say, "I keep away from Runaround Sue"


A kiss from her lips and a smile from her face
One touch of her hand and this girl’s warm embrace
Now, listen people what I’m telling you
Keep away from Runaround Sue.

F
She like to travel around
       C
She’ll love you, then she’ll put you down
     F
Now, people let me put you wise
G
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
So if you don’t want to cry like I do
Keep away from Runaround Sue
