It doesn't pay to be a runaway lover
To a runaway lover
It doesn't pay, it doesn't pay
Just like a ship that's lost at sea
But now there's just no place for you to go
It doesn't pay to be a runaway lover
You'll never get your money back
I guess you met your match
Saying your name out loud
Make sure it doesn't land on me
You don't care where you drop your anchor
It doesn't pay to give away what you lack
It doesn't pay to give your heart away
You'll never get your money back
Now what will you do?
No way
Walking around on a cloud
It doesn't pay to be a runaway lover
It doesn't pay to be a runaway lover
It doesn't pay to give away what you lack
'Cause every girl you meet just trips on you
'Cause every girl you meet just trips on you
Saying your name out loud
It doesn't pay to give away what you lack
I guess you met your match
Walking around on a cloud
It doesn't pay to be a runaway lover
You're set adrift with no direction
It doesn't pay to give away what you lack
You'll never get your money back
It doesn't pay to give away what you lack
Now what will you do?
You'll never get your money back
You'll never get your money back
You get your education from your lovers
