Lyrics

[In G, my runabout runabout runabout girl]

Well

My runabout runabout runabout runabout
My runabout girl
My runabout girl
My runabout runabout runabout girl

Oh when my runabout girl feels bad
She thinks I'm gonna go away
When she can't stop feeling bad
She figures I won't wanna stay
You'd think by now she'd know
Oh that I'll never go
Cause I'd never give up
On my runabout girl

Oh when my runabout girl feels sad
She thinks I'm gonna chomp the bit
Oh when she can't stop feeling bad
She thinks one day I'll say "I quit"
You think by now she'd say
That man must be here to stay
Cause I'd never give up
On my runabout girl

My runabout runabout run runabout
My runabout girl
My runabout girl
My runabout runabout runabout girl

Oh when my runabout girl feels bad
She thinks I'm gonna twanck-a-twanck???
When she can't stop feeling bad
She thinks I'm gonna stop our account at the bank
You'd think she'd laugh at fear
Cause I've loved her all of these years
And I'd never give up, no no
I'd never give up, oh no
On my runabout girl
I'd never give up
On my runabout girl

My runabout runabout run runabout
My runabout girl
My runabout girl
My runabout girl

One more verse

Oh when my runabout girl feels bad
She thinks I'm gonna go away
Oh when she can't stop feeling sad
She's sure I won't wanna stay
You'd think by now she'd know
Oh that I'll never go
And I'd never give up, no no
I'd never give up, no no
Well I'd never give up
On my runabout girl

My runabout runabout run runabout
My runabout girl
My runabout girl
My runabout runabout runabout girl

Lyrics

My runabout runabout runabout runabout
My runabout girl
My runabout girl

Oh when my runabout girl feels bad
She thinks I'm gonna go away
Well when she can't stop feeling sad
She figures I won't wanna stay
You'd figure now she'd know
That I'll never go
Well I'd never give up
On my runabout girl

Oh when my runabout girl feels sad
She thinks I'm gonna go and quit
Well when she can't stop feeling sad
She thinks I'm gonna have enough of it
You think by now she'd see
She's the best friend of me
And I'd never give up
On my runabout girl, no

My runabout runabout run runabout
My runabout girl
My runabout girl
My runabout runabout my runabout girl

Oh when my runabout girl feels sad
She thinks I'm gonna want to stop
Oh when she can't stop feeling sad
She figures she's gonna push me over the top
You'd think she'd laugh at fear
Cause I've loved her all of these years
And I'd never give up, no
I'd never give up, no
I'd never give upon my runabout girl

My runabout runabout run runabout
My runabout girl

Lyrics

[???]

Well the runabout runabout run runabout
The runabout girl
It's the runabout girl
The runabout runabout runabout girl

Oh when the runabout girl feels bad
She thinks I'm gonna go away
When the runabout girl gets sad
She thinks I'm not the one to stay
You'd think by now she'd know
That I'll never go
I'd never give up
On the runabout girl

Oh when the runabout girl feels bad
She thinks I'm gonna chomp the bit
Well when she can't stop feeling bad
She's sure one day I'll say "I quit"
You think by now she'd say
That boy must be here to stay
Cause I'd never give up
On the runabout girl

Well the runabout runabout run runabout
The runabout girl
The runabout girl
The runabout runabout runabout girl

I don't forget how great she is
Just when she feels bad
I don't forget
She's the runabout runabout runabout girl

Oh when the runabout girl feels bad
She thinks I'm gonna twanck-a-twanck [what's that? well hang on ???]

When she can't stop feeling bad
She thinks I'm gonna close our account at the bank
You'd think she'd laugh at fear
I've loved her all of these years
And I'd never give up, [I'd never get away with something like that]
I'd never give up,
No I'd never give up,
On the runabout girl
???

Well the runabout runabout run runabout
The runabout girl
