You lost your reputation on a woman
You didn´t understand or care to know
You get your education from your lovers
But now there´s just no place for you to go

It doesn´t pay
To be a runaway lover
It doesn´t pay
To give away what you lack
You´ll never get your money back

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

It doesn´t pay
To be a runaway lover
It doesn´t pay
To give away what you lack
You´ll never get your money back

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

Don´t give it away

It doesn´t pay
To be a runaway lover
It doesn´t pay
To give away what you lack
You´ll never get your money back

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

It doesn´t pay
It doesn´t pay
It doesn´t pay
To give your heart away
To a runaway lover

Uh uh, no way
Don´t give it away
Uh uh, no way
