Runaround Sue Lyrics

[Hook: Greg Banks]
She played with my heart, made me question, if I was insane
Sue's the prettiest girl in town but she's venom to your veins
Heartbreak hotel room, 505
I was blinded by love, and the way she lied
Not me, no way, but that day she fooled me
When I caught Sue running around
She was running around, she was running around, she was running around
She was, she was running around

[Verse 2: G-Eazy]
Well, I should've known she would run around
Chill for a second, then peace when the Summer's down
Now, how dumb I sound, ever since I fell for the apple of my eye?
Cupid always keeps his gun around
When I smash, she was like a woman from the past
A Mary Tyler Moore with more ass

Should've figured something when she let me score fast
But I was misguided, thinking she had more class
Nah, I couldn't be wronger
Fuck it anyways, it was time to move onward
I'm tripping no longer

Put her on the streets like a Banksy
'Cause I was too swanky, and she was too skanky

[Hook: Greg Banks]
She played with my heart, made me question, if I was insane
Sue's the prettiest girl in town but she's venom to your veins
Heartbreak hotel room, 505
I was blinded by love, and the way she lied
Not me, no way, but that day she fooled me
When I caught Sue running around
She was running around, she was running around, she was running around
She was, she was running around

About

Genius Annotation

As one of G-Eazy’s most popular songs to date, “Runaround Sue” serves as a play on the tragic love story Dion gave us in his 1961 hit record by the same name. G’s version pays homage to the 60’s and is laced with references to the sample’s context.

In his interview with Bryan Stars on the Warped Tour following the release of this mixtape, G has this to say about the song that means most to him:

It’s called “Runaround Sue,” and it’s about a runaround bitch, who just runs around man. She runs around with my heart. She just fucks me over.

As brought about by Dion, a Runaround Sue is a girl that seems to be loyal and loving to you, but is in reality playing games with lots of guys to get attention and love.
