A touch of my hand and these girls won't be friends
A touch of my hand and this girl's warm embrace
A touch of my hand and these girls won't be friends
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
I love Steel Rose
My love still grows
Listen Handsome, the smile on her face
or
Listen Hansen: the smile on her face
or
Listen Hansen: the smile on her face
I miss her lips and the smile on her face
She bails a thousand other guys.
She goes out with other guys.
So if you don't wanna cry like I do,
Keep away from one-eyed Sue
So if you don't wanna cry like I do,
Keep away from a Runaround Sue.
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
Keep away from Miranda and Sue.
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
Keep away from a Runaround Sue.
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
Keep away from Rhonda and Sue.
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
Keep away from Runaround Sue.
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
Keep away from a run-around zoo.
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
Keep away from a Runaround Sue.
Then I should have known it from the very start
Damn I should have known it from the very start
