[Verse 1] You lost your reputation on a woman You didnt understand or care to know You get your education from your lovers But now theres just no place for you to go [Chorus] It doesnt pay to be a runaway lover It doesnt pay to give away what you lack Youll never get your money back [Verse 2] Youre set adrift with no direction Just like a ship thats lost at sea You dont care where you drop your anchor Make sure it doesnt land on me [Chorus] It doesnt pay to be a runaway lover It doesnt pay to give away what you lack Youll never get your money back It doesnt pay to be a runaway lover It doesnt pay to give away what you lack Youll never get your money back [Refrain] 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? Uhuh, no way [Chorus] It doesnt pay to be a runaway lover It doesnt pay to give away what you lack Youll never get your money back It doesnt pay to be a runaway lover It doesnt pay to give away what you lack Youll never get your money back [Refrain] 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? [Outro] It doesnt pay, it doesnt pay, it doesnt pay To give your heart away to a runaway lover Uhuh, no way Mmmm, no way Uhuh, no way
