Lyrics

(She’s A) Runaround

She doesn't know why she's feeling sad

She'll never get what she's never had

She wants to leave home but she can't get away

Always on her own every single day

'Cause she's a

(Runaround)

What a total disaster, she's a

(Runaround)

She's got nothing to do, she's a

(Runaround)

Doesn't know what she's after, she's a

(Runaround)

She hasn't a clue

She wishes she could live in a world of her own

Or go someplace where she's not known

There's nothing for her here to do any good

Can't get the satisfaction she wishes she could

'Cause she's a

(Runaround)

What a total disaster, she's a

(Runaround)

She's got nothing to do, she's a

(Runaround)

Doesn't know what she's after, she's a

(Runaround)

She hasn't a clue

She doesn't know why she's feeling sad

She'll never get what she's never had

She wants to leave home but she can't get away

Always on her own every single day

'Cause she's a

(Runaround)

What a total disaster, she's a

(Runaround)

She's got nothing to do, she's a

(Runaround)

Doesn't know what she's after, she's a

(Runaround)

She hasn't a clue
