Listen up alla you pirates,
You buccaneers and such,
Take a sad warning from my sad song,
And don't push your luck too much.I used to run all around town,
Makin' and breakin' love.
But all my runnin' didn't seem so cunnin'
When push came down to shove.'Cause when I came upon you, Baby,
I didn't know what it was all about.
'Cause when I ran, and then I ran
From true love,
And then i ran
Until my heart gave out.
Thinkin' about those hot nights
When the neighbors began to talk.
I thought love was easy to get
Until I took a walk.Now I'm here in a cold place
Sittin' so all alone.
I didn't know it could be so bad
Until I quit my happy home.
And didn't it always seem that you can't keep
A good man down?
But when I came of age,
Livin' it up was all the rage.
