Ken Boothe - Walk Away From Love

(I'm gonna walk away from love)
(I'm gonna walk away from love)
(Gonna walk away, gonna walk away)

It's not that I don't love you
You know how much I do, understand me, girl
And it's not that I've found someone
To take the place of you, ooh
It's just a fear that builds up in me
Every time you touch my hand
I don't understand it, babe
And a dread that shakes my body
That even I don't understand

So I'm leaving (I'm leaving, yes I am)
It's time to play it smart
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from love
(Walk away from love)
Before love (breaks my heart)

(..)
Ooh wee, girl
You know I love you, baby

Ooh, you're clinging to me tighter
Than you ever have before
I just can't understand it, babe
But I know it's gonna take everything I've got
To keep walking out the door, oh
But those arms you've got around me, me
Will let me go someday
But I never leave you, holding on
Than pushing me away

So I'm leaving (I'm leaving, yes I am)
It's time to play it smart
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from love
(Walk away from love)
Before love breaks (my heart)

(..)
Ooh, ooh wee, baby

(Gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
(Gonna walk away, gonna walk away)

So I'm leaving (I'm leaving, yes I am)
Ooh girl, yeah
It's time to play it smart
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from love
(I'm leaving, yes I am) Ooh girl, ooh yeah
And this dread that shakes my body
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from love
(Baby, I'm walking) Ooh wee, girl
Love ain't treating me right
(Baby, I'm walking) ooh yeah..
