Del Shannon - Runaround Sue Lyrics






Here's my story, it's sad but true
It's about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town

Yeah I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A keep away from a Runaround Sue

I might miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't want to cry like I do
A keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Ah, she likes to travel around
She'll love you and she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Yeah keep away from this girl
I don't know what she'll doe
Keep away from Sue

She likes to travel around
She'll love you and she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
She goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from a Runaround Sue

Stay away from that girl
Don't you know what she'll do now

    I believe that he was the original singer of this song so what's not to like

    P.... M....

    Dion first sang it and the song was written by Dion with Ernie Maresca although I prefer Del Shannons cover

  5. t.... s....

    This is a great cover version by Del. He did many great covers.

    t.... s....

    You're right - any comprehensive Del Shannon compilation CD will have several on it.

    Del Shannon's version of "Runaround Sue" and Dion's cover of "Runaway" have basically made the musical universe fall in on itself...
    And I love EVERY minute of it. Well done!

    F.... B....

    Thanks Felix - a spectacular comment.

  9. N.... ....

    Great cover by Mr. Westover, Victor. Just hearing him sing brings back so many memories. He was Great! Thanks for this one!

    +Nipstersongs1 I know you and I are both committed fans.  More to come from the guy on this here channel!

  10. M.... S....

    Never heard Del singing this  makes a change from Dion Victor .

    M.... S....

    +Music Selection Yeah - I have quite a few of these rarer cover versions.

    M.... S....

    @sunryse111 Good to know Victor , I'll look out for them in the coming weeks and months

  11. T.... R....

    I might be in the minority but i've always loved Del's version of this! Thumbs up Victor! Cheers Tiger.

    T.... R....

    +Tiger Moth I love all his stuff, Tiger.  Thanks for the thumbs up.

  12. m.... ....

    I never heard this before. I don't think this did anything in US. It's practically a lift from Dion's version.

    m.... ....

    +michael7572 Quite right - don't think Del ever released this as a single.
