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

Chorus:

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

(chorus, Repeat)

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

(chorus, Repeat)

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
