Runaway Lover - Madonna

written by Madonna and William Orbit

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
