I Just Walked Away
White Tony Joe
#1. I walked out of your apartment I left you sleeping on your bed. I wanted to look back over my shoulder but I did not turn my head. #2. We had a good arrangement yes we did. But now I felt the need to move. But things had not worked out like I planned cause I’ve become attached to you. There was no way to tell you baby all the things I had to say..so I just walked away. INTERLUDE: #3. Mistin’ rain had started falling the kind that chills you to the bone. And I had a soulful feeling but it did not stay too long. Oh I knew I had it coming but I believe it’d come and gone. And this lonesome feeling inside me makes me know I stayed too long. There was no way to tell you baby all the things I had to say..so I just walked away. INTERLUDE: #4. I left you baby ooooo I hated to go but I just could not explain the way I felt about it. Oooo baby ooo I left you I hated to leave you sleeping on your bed when you needed me most. Ooo I left you. #5. A mistin’ rain was falling the kind that chills you when you need somebody to lay beside you. And that’s the time that I picked to leave you and I hated to go. But it just couldn’t tell you the way I felt about the situation. OUTRO: Oooo ooo baby I wanted so bad to find some way of just coming out and telling you that I did not want to love you so much. Oh but I just couldn’t so I just walked away.
