| This girl will leave me with a broken heart |
| Now listen people what I’m telling you |
| A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue |

| The touch of her hair and this girl’s warm embrace |
| So if you don’t wanna cry like I do |

| Ah, she likes to travel around |
| She’ll love you but she’ll put you down |
| Now people let me put you wise |
| Sue goes out with other guys |
| 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 |
