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
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 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
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
Walking around on a cloud Cuz 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 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
Walking around on a cloud Cuz 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
