Lyrics
Walk away

Look out now, baby won't you take me away Sitting here its gonna be a new day Gotta sing my song and I can't go wrong Gotta keep on roaming, gotta sing my song

What you feeling when you hold me tight I'm gonna cuddle up with you tonight Gonna get you feeling so secure Listen child, don't you see there's a cure

Anywhere got to get you away, Feels so good, think it's gonna be a new day I'm gonna get my song 'till I can't go on, I'm gonna keep on roaming gonna sing my song

Ooh yeah, oh Ooh, ooh yeah Oh, I can hold you, friend

What you feeling when you hold me tight I'm gonna cuddle up with you tonight Gonna get you feeling so secure Listen child, don't you see there's a cure Ooh yeah

Anywhere got to get you away, Feels so good, think it's gonna be a new day I'm gonna get my song 'till I can't go on, I'm gonna keep on roaming gonna sing my song I wanna love you more Ooh yeah

Gonna sing my song, yeah And it won't take long Gonna sing my song, yeah Won't you sing along

I want you to sing it, sing it, Sing it, sing it along I want you to sing it, sing it, Sing it, sing it along I want you to sing it, sing it, Sing it, sing it along I want you to sing it, sing it, Sing it, sing it along

'Cause I won't take that, Take that long, yeah
