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-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
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
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
To be a runaway lover
It doesn-t pay
To give away what you lack
You-ll never get your money back.
