I’m Gonna Walk Away From Love
[Intro]
(I'm gonna walk away from love
Doo-doo do do
I'm gonna walk away from love
Doo-doo do do do doo)
[Verse 1]
It's not that I don't love you
Girl, you know how much I do
And it's not that I've found someone
To take the place of you
It's just a fear that builds within me
Every time you touch my hand (Every time you touch my hand)
And a dread that shakes my body
That even I don't understand
[Chorus]
So I'm leaving, mmm (I'm leaving, yes I am)
This time I'm playing it smart (I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from love (Walk away from love)
Before love, breaks my heart
(I'm gonna walk away from love
Doo-doo do do do doo)
[Verse 2]
Oooh, you're clinging to me tighter
Than you ever have before
And it's gonna take everything I've got
To keep walking out that door
But those arms you've got around me
Will let me go some day (Let me go someday)
And I'd rather leave you holding on
Than pushing me away
[Chorus]
So I'm leaving, yes I am (I'm leaving, yes I am)
This time I'm playing it smart (I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from love (Walk away from love)
Before love, breaks my heart
(I'm gonna walk away from love
Doo-doo do do do doo)
[Outro]
This time I'm playing it smart
(I'm gonna walk away from love)
Hey baby (Doo-doo do do do doo)
Breaks my heart
(I'm gonna walk away from love)
Ooh, ooh (Doo-doo do do do doo)
Breaks my heart
(I'm gonna walk away from love)
