Runaround Sue

Obsessed with this Dion hit from the 60's,

To the tune of Runaround Sue, but like... 

Sue's ready to set the record straight

(I mean 1961 was a long time ago,

But still, the girl's gotta let the people know)

Oh my love, Oh my darling dear

We've had some times this year,

It's not my fault you picked me out

Blinded by this ruby lipped pout

(Hey, hey, WooooOOoooooOOOAAAHHHHhhhhhhh) x2 - Just like those nifty oldie songs

I would have told you from the very start

I'm a girl who knows how to break your heart

Now listen baby, what I'm telling you 

There's a reason I'm called Runaround Sue 

If you were gonna miss me, shoulda told me so

I wouldn't have been looking for my new beux

I'm sorry I got you feeling so blue

But that's why they call me Runaround Sue

(WooooooOOOOOAAAHHHHhhhh WoooOOOOooooOOOOoooAAAAAhhhh hey, hey,) - once more like before

So I travel around, yeah?

So I turn boys' worlds upside down"

I never told you any lies

So I go out with other guys?

There's a moral to this story, and I would know

You were in love and it didn't show

Like every fool that I ever knew, they'll say

'I was in love with Runaround Sue"

Yeah, keep away from me boy

'Cause I know what I do

With a name like Sue

So I travel around, yeah?

So I turn boys' worlds upside down?

I never told you any lies

So I go out with other guys?

There's a moral to this story, and I would know

You were in love and it didn't show

Like every fool that I ever knew, they'll say

'I was in love with Runaround Sue"

Yeah, I'm that kinda' girl

And I know what I do now

Keep away from me boy

Cause I'll do it to you now

this is so cool...from Sue's perspective...the girl that turned Dion into the Wanderer...and now he just roams around and around and around, like a lonely teenager in love...

Don't know why i love you, don't know why i do? and then he asks.."ruby will you be mine"

i guess you have to love the one you're with...

love that music...thanks for this poem...got me tapping my feet.

Thank you! I've been listening to the song non-stop I knew I had to do something.

I read the last line "Cuz I'll do it to you somehow"

And then for some reason I thought of a kitten.

And then of taking off on an airplane.

And then I pulled my thoughts together and left this weird comment.

Thank you for the comment anyways!
