Runaround Sue
G- Eazy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Oooh) It's about a girl that I once knew
(Oooh) She took my love, then ran around
(Oooh) With every single guy in town
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
When I caught Sue running around
She was running around, she was running around, she was running around
She was, she was running around
Umm, so I said "peace," and I left it
Can't get mad at me when your actions request it
Couldn't even tell me to my face, had to text it
You can pack your bags, follow signs to the exit
Yes, move it along please, pronto
Oh, and by the way, return your keys to the condo
If you played at the Apollo
You'd be the type of act that I would boo off stage while I throw you a tomato
A tough act to follow
But you fooled me, bravo
Can't believe I fell for your bull, Chicago
Can't believe you asked me to stay, nah ho
I'm out of here with rocket power, babe, Otto
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
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
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
She was running around (hey), she was running around (hey), she was running around
She was, she was running around
G-Eazy's "Runaround Sue" is a song about heartbreak and betrayal. The lyrics describe a girl named Sue who takes the singer's love and runs around with every guy in town. He is left heartbroken and confused, questioning his own sanity. Despite being blinded by love and infatuated with Sue's beauty, he eventually realizes that she is toxic to him, and he must end the relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase "she was running around" to emphasize how Sue's actions caused the singer pain and strife.
Throughout the song, the singer recognizes his own foolishness for falling for Sue's charms. He acknowledges that he should have known she would run around and that he was misguided for believing she had more class. He eventually decides to end things and puts Sue "on the streets like a banksy" because he is "too swanky" for her and she is "too skanky" for him. The song's lyrics convey a raw emotion that many can relate to - the pain of being heartbroken and betrayed.

Heartbreak hotel room, 505
The room where my heart was broken was number 505 in the Heartbreak Hotel
I was blinded by love, and the way she lied
My love for her and her lies made me lose my sense of reason
Not me, no way, but that day she fooled me
I can't believe that she fooled me that day
When I caught Sue running around
When I found out that Sue was fooling around
She was running around, she was running around, she was running around
She was moving from guy to guy, without any hesitation
She was, she was running around
She was on the move, going from one man to the next
Umm, so I said "peace," and I left it
I bid her goodbye and left the situation behind
Can't get mad at me when your actions request it
You can't blame me when your own actions caused me to leave
Couldn't even tell me to my face, had to text it
You didn't even have the courage to tell me in person, had to send a text instead
You can pack your bags, follow signs to the exit
You can gather your things and leave now
Yes, move it along please, pronto
Get going right away, please hurry
Oh, and by the way, return your keys to the condo
And while you're at it, return the keys to the apartment
If you played at the Apollo
Even if you performed at a prestigious venue like the Apollo Theater
You'd be the type of act that I would boo off stage while I throw you a tomato
Your performance would be so bad that I would throw tomatoes at you and boo you off the stage
A tough act to follow
It would be hard for anyone to top your awfulness
But you fooled me, bravo
I have to give you credit for fooling me
Can't believe I fell for your bull, Chicago
I can't believe I bought into your lies
Can't believe you asked me to stay, nah ho
I can't believe you had the nerve to ask me to stay
I'm out of here with rocket power, babe, Otto
I'm leaving with great speed and enthusiasm, like the character Otto Rocket from Rocket Power
Well, I should've known she would run around
In hindsight, I should have known that she would cheat on me
Chill for a second, then peace when the Summer's down
I should have waited before getting involved with her and left when things cooled down
Now how dumb I sound, ever since I fell for the apple of my eye?
I sound stupid now after falling for the one I was attracted to?
Cupid always keeps his gun around
Cupid is always ready to shoot his arrow, meaning I could fall in love again.
When I smash, she was like a woman from the past
When I slept with her, I felt like I was with an old-fashioned woman
A Mary Tyler Moore with more ass
She was like Mary Tyler Moore, but with a bigger butt
Should've figured something when she let me score fast
I should have seen a red flag when she let me sleep with her quickly
But I was misguided thinking she had more class
But I was wrong to think she was a woman with more morals
Nah, I couldn't be wronger
No, I couldn't have been more wrong about her
Fuck it anyways, it was time to move onward
Anyway, it was time to move on from her
I'm tripping no longer
I'm no longer under her spell
Put her on the streets like a banksy
I let her go, like Banksy would release one of his art pieces into the streets
Cause I was too swanky, and she was too skanky
I was too classy, and she was too trashy for me
She was running around (hey), she was running around (hey), she was running around
She was moving from one guy to the next quickly and without care
She was, she was running around
She was on the move, going from one man to the next

Fuck what I said it don't mean shit now
Fuck the presents might as well throw em out
Fuck all those kisses they didn't mean jack
Fuck you, you hoe, I don't want you back

This happens all the time,
They take your heart says "you are mine".
But you are just one of the mine's,
You'll get it one day when the sun shines.
You trust her so much,
Her every excuse feels so true,
Even though your mind says she's sus,
She has your heart you just can't think through.
Feels like it's my mistake after all,
Coz you hear the truth in her voice when she call,
But it's nothing new,
She got a dozen guys to brew.
Well indeed it was your fault,
You made her feel exalt,
You expected something so true,
She was nothing but a runaround sue.

@garretthelzer4412
The fact this isn't on spotify is beyond me. I've been blasting this song since at least 2012, that whole Endless Summer EP was easily one of my favorite hip-hop albums of all time. Damn shame, but thank God this is on youtube.

@l31zon2
the video was deleted for a while and came back on in 2018 .. idk why
@GoofsGuides
Because the original song was never lisenced. And since this isn't a "cover" it isn't considered fair use.
