Runaway Lover

Lyrics

[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
