(Ooooo.)
Here's my story, it's sad but true.
(Ooooo.)
It's about a girl that I once knew.
(Ooooo.)
She took my love then ran around,
(Ooooo.)
With every single guy in town.

(Hey, hey,) Wo-oh-oh-ohoh-oh/(Wum-de-hey-de-hey-de).
(Hey, hey,) Wo-oh-oh-ohoh-oh/(Wum-de-hey-de-hey-de).
(Hey, hey,) Wo-oh-oh-ohoh-oh/(Wum-de-hey-de-hey-de).
(Hey.) Lat-lat-lat-lat.
(Hey, hey,) Wo, oh, oh, oh, oh/(Wum-de-hey-de-hey-de).
(Hey, hey,) ohoh-ohoh/(Wum-de-hey-de-hey-de).
(Hey, hey,) oh oh-oh, ohhh, oh/(Wum-de-hey-de-hey-de).
(Hey.) (Awwwwwww.)

Behind the verses, the background singers (The Belmonts) repeat this:
(Hey, hey, wum-de-hey-de-hey-de,)
(Hey, hey, wum-de-hey-de-hey-de,)
(Hey, hey, wum-de-hey-de-hey-de,)
(Hey.)

Yeah, I should have known it from the very start-a,
This girl will leave me with a broken heart-a.
A-listen people what I'm telling you-a,
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue.

Yeah, I'm-a miss her lips and the smile on her face-a,
The touch of her hand and this girl's warm embrace-a.
So if you don't wanna cry like I do-a,
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue.

(Hey, hey,) Wo-oh-oh-ohoh-oh/(Wum-de-hey-de-hey-de).
(Hey, hey,) Wo-oh-oh-ohoh-oh/(Wum-de-hey-de-hey-de).
(Hey, hey,) Wo-oh-oh-ohoh-oh/(Wum-de-hey-de-hey-de).
(Hey.) (Awwwwwww.)

Behind the bridge the Belmonts repeat (Ohhhhhh).

She likes to travel 'round. Yeah.
She'll love you but she'll put you down-a.
Now people let me put you wise-a,
A-Sue goes out with other guys.

Back to the doo-wop backup.

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows-a,
I fell in love and my love still grows-a.
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say,
"A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue."

I played it all.
Yeah, keep away from this girl.
I don't know what she'll do-a.
Keep away from Sue.
(Awwwwwww,)

Don't you know what she'll do now?

Wo-oh-ohoh-oh.
Wo-ohoh-oh.
Fade.
Wo-oh-oh-ohoh-oh.
Wo-oh-oh-ohoh-oh.
Keep away from that girl.
Don't you know...
