WALK AWAY FROM LOVE
(Written by: Charles Kipps)

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

It's not that I don't love you
You know how much I do
And it's not that I've found someone
To take the place of you

It's just the fear that lives within me
Everytime you touch my hand
And a dread that shakes my body
That even I don't understand

So I'm leaving
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
This time I'm playin' it smart
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from a love
(walk away from love)
Before love breaks my heart

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

Ooh, you're clinging to me tighter
Then you ever have before, I don't understand it
But I know it's gonna take everything I got
To keep walkin' out the door

But those arms you got around me
We'll let me go someday
And I'd rather leave you holding on,
Than pushing me away

So I'm leaving
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
This time I'm playin' it smart
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from a love
(walk away from love)
Before love breaks my heart

(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
Oh baby
It's not that I don't want you,
You know how much I do, oh baby
(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
I'm leaving, baby
(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
This time I'm playin' it smart
Oh, don't break my heart
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
Oh, I'm walkin' away baby
(I'm gonna walk away from a love)
(gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
