Shake Hands And Walk Away Crying - Lou Christie

Rumors getting 'round, my sweet baby put me down

Ain’t a girl alive with the suffering I feel inside

Mine’s not a peppering fool

And 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 thinking how she’ll beat me to the punch but I won’t let her

Shake hands and walk away

(And look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on

I’m gonna shake hands and walk away

(And look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on now

I’ll never say to you, breaking up is hard to do

'Cause I’ve got my pride, a big man never cries

There’s much of life in you and 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

Shake hands and walk away

(And look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on

I’m gonna shake hands and walk away

(And look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on now

Shake hands and walk away

(And look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on

I’m gonna shake hands and walk away

(And look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on now

Shake hands and walk away

(Ring of echo chamber)

There’s much of life in you

And you’d better run too

Shake hands and walk away

(And look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on

I’m gonna shake hands and walk away

(And look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on now

Shake hands and walk away

(And look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on

I’m gonna shake hands and walk away

(And look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on now
