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
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, repeat)
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
Don't give it away
(chorus, repeat)
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
It doesn't pay It doesn't pay It doesn't pay To give your heart away To a runaway lover
