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 
Now listen people what I'm telling you 
G 
"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. 
 

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 

Ask any fool that she ever knew 

they'll say: Keep away from Runaround Sue
