You've been a good friend and I love you like a sister

Girl I want nothing but the best in life for you

So now you've come to ask me 'bout some newfound mister

Whose reputation you just can't believe is true

I've got to tell you I've heard all those tabloid rumors

About how charming he'll appear right from the start

And how he'll wine and dine and flatter you with whispers

Then take you home to shake you up and break your heart

Oh you'll do the town

You'll stay up all night

You might even have some fun

But once you've been downed

He will drop from sight

He's "Mister Hit 'n' Run"

When you find him gone

Come the morning light

You'll have lost what he has won

Though you've done no wrong

He does no one right

He's "Mister Hit 'n' Run"

Now if you know what's good for you you'll keep your distance

And you will let that freight roll down some other track

Just exercise some none too common sense resistance

By showing him the fading vista of your back

Oh you'll do the town

You'll stay up all night

You might even have some fun

But once you've been downed

He will drop from sight

He's "Mister Hit 'n' Run"

When you find him gone

Come the morning light

You'll have lost what he has won

Though you've done no wrong

He does no one right

He's "Mister Hit 'n' Run"
