Rumors gettin` `round, my sweet baby put me down
Ain`t a girl alive with the suffering I feel inside
Mine`s not a peppering fool
& when you go with me you play by my rules
If that`s the way she wants to play, then I`ll forget her
She`s thinkin` how she`ll beat me to the punch, but I won`t let her
CHORUS:
Shake hands & walk away (& look at him cryin`)
Come on, come on, come on, come on
I`m gonna shake hands & walk away (& look at him cryin`)
Come on, come on, come on, come on now
I`ll never say to you, breakin` up is hard to do
`Cause I`ve got my pride; a big man never cries
There`s much of life in you, & you`d better run too
Knowing it`s our last goodbye, it`s hard to face you
Don`t expect me back for more, I`ll just erase you
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)
Shake hands & walk away (ring of echo chamber)
There`s much of life in you, & you`d better run too
