Lyric Runaway Lover

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
