Shake Hands And Walk Away Crying Lyrics

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  

  

 (repeat chorus & fade
