Текст песни:
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
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?
No way
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
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
No way, no way, no way
