Am G D
you lost your reputation on a woman
Am G D
you didn?t understand or care to
know
Am G D
you get your education from your lovers
Am G D
but now there?s just no place for you
to go

( chorus )
Am
it doesn?t pay
G D
to be a runaway lover
Am
it doesn?t pay
G D
to give away what you lack
you?ll never get your money back

( Am G D again in this part )

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

( chorus )

chorus )
Am
it doesn?t pay
G D
to be a runaway lover
Am
it doesn?t pay
G D
to give away what you lack
you?ll never get your money back

Am G
walking around on a cloud
D
cause every girl you meet just trips
on you
Am G
saying your name out loud
D
i guess you met your match
Am D
now what will you do
