           D#m7
Well looky here, looky here,
  G#7
Ah, what do we have?
 D#m7
Another pretty thing
      G#7
Ready for me to grab.
    D#m7
But little does she know
          G#7
That I’m a wolf in sheep’s clothing,
              D#m7
’Cause at the end of the night
It is her I’ll be holding.

              D#m7
   I love you so. Hey!
               G#7
   That’s what you’ll say,
   That’s what you’ll say.
   You’ll tell me,
    D#m7                         G#7
   "Baby, baby, please don’t go away,
   Don’t go away."
              D#m7
   But when I play, but when I play,
            G#7
   I never stay, I never stay.
            D#m7
   So every girl that I meet,
          G#7
   Yeah, this is what I say:

Chorus:
      B                   A#
     Run, run, run away, run away, baby,
       D#m                     G#
     Before I put my spell on you.
                 B
     You better get, get, get away,
     A#
     Get away, darling,
            D#m                       G#
     ’Cause everything you heard is true.

                       B                  A#
     Your poor little heart will end up alone,
                  D#m                  G#
     ’Cause Lord knows, I’m a rolling stone,
                    B
     So you better run, run, run away,
     A#             D#m7
     Run away, baby.

G#7  D#m7  G#7
   Uh, ah, yeah.

             D#m
Well, let me think, let me think,
    G#sus4
Ah, what should I do?
        D#m
So many eager young bunnies
         G#sus4
That I’d like to pursue.
    D#m
Now even though they’re eating out
    G#sus4
The palm of hand,
        D#m
There’s only one carrot,
         G#sus4
And they all gotta share it.

              D#m7
   I love you so. Hey!
               G#7
   That’s what you’ll say,
   That’s what you’ll say.
   You’ll tell me,
    D#m7                         G#7
   "Baby, baby, please don’t go away,
   Don’t go away."
              D#m7
   But when I play, but when I play,
           G#7
   I never stay, I never stay.
            D#m7
   So every girl that I meet,

     So you better run, run, run away,
     A#            D#m7
     Run away, baby.

   G#7        D#m7 G#7
   Uh. Chika, ah.

                          D#m7
   See, I ain’t trying to hurt you, baby.
