Runaway Lover

[Verse 1]

You lost your reputation on a woman

You didn't understand or care to know

You get your education from your lovers

But now there's just no place for you to go

[Chorus]

It doesn't pay to be a runaway lover

It doesn't pay to give away what you lack

You'll never get your money back

[Verse 2]

You're set adrift with no direction

Just like a ship that's lost at sea

You don't care where you drop your anchor

Make sure it doesn't land on me

[Chorus]

It doesn't pay to be a runaway lover

It doesn't pay to give away what you lack

You'll never get your money back

It doesn't pay to be a runaway lover

It doesn't pay to give away what you lack

You'll never get your money back

[Refrain]

Walking around on a cloud

'Cause every girl you meet just trips on you

Saying your name out loud

I guess you met your match

Now what will you do?

Mm-mm, no way

[Chorus]

It doesn't pay to be a runaway lover

It doesn't pay to give away what you lack

You'll never get your money back

It doesn't pay to be a runaway lover

It doesn't pay to give away what you lack

You'll never get your money back

[Refrain]

Walking around on a cloud

'Cause every girl you meet just trips on you

Saying your name out loud

I guess you met your match

Now what will you do?

[Outro]

It doesn't pay, it doesn't pay, it doesn't pay

To give your heart away to a runaway lover

Uh-uh, no way

Mm-mm, no way

Uh-uh, no way
