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
