Runaround
©2007 Lyrics and Music by Bob Oister. All Rights Reserved.

Verse #1:

A pretty stranger dressed to kill, lookin' lonely in the jukebox light.
A hint of danger, a bit of thrill, She’s goin’ home with me tonight. The guys all know that she’s crazy. She never hears a word they say. She says her name is Daisy, and she’s dancin’ the night away.  

Chorus #1: 

She’s a runaround. You knew it from the start.
She’s a runaround. She’ll only break your heart.  

Verse #2: 

She’ll melt your heart with her smile. She keeps her secrets in her eyes.
She’ll tell you she’s a real wild child. It’s all part of her disguise.
She’s headed right out the door, when morning comes and the sun shines bright.
You know you’ve seen her type before. She lives her life night by night.   

Chorus #2:

She’s a runaround. She’ll tear your world apart.
She’s a runaround. She’s runnin’ away with your heart.  

Bridge:

She’ll look you in the eyes and tell you all her lies and she’ll have you comin’ back for more.
You better realize she hates long goodbyes, she’s heard you talkin’ smack before.
And when the sun starts to rise don’t try to close your eyes she’ll only kick you out the door.  

Chorus #1: 

She’s a runaround. You knew it from the start.
She’s a runaround. She’ll only break your heart.  

Chorus #2:

She’s a runaround. She’ll tear your world apart.
She’s a runaround. She’s runnin’ away with your heart.
