Look Away Lyrics

[00:14.49] When you called me up this morning
[00:16.79] Told me 'bout the new love you found
[00:18.69] I said I'm happy for you
[00:20.62] I'm really happy for you
[00:24.23] Found someone else
[00:26.38] I guess I won't be comin' 'round
[00:29.25] I guess it's over baby
[00:31.94] It's really over baby, whoa-oh
[00:35.61] And for what you said
[00:37.59] I know you've gotten over me
[00:40.52] It'll never be the way it used to be
[00:46.78] So if it's got to be this way
[00:52.15] Don't worry, baby, I can take the news OK
[00:56.82] But if you see me walking by
[00:59.71] And the tears are in my eyes
[01:02.52] Look away, baby look away
[01:07.89] And if we meet on the streets someday
[01:10.87] And I don't know what to say
[01:13.65] Look away, baby look away
[01:19.14] Don't look at me
[01:21.91] I don't want you to see me this way
[01:27.48]
[01:36.05] When we both agreed as lovers
[01:38.50] We we're be better off as friends
[01:41.28] That's how it had to be
[01:43.56] Yeah, that's how it had to be
[01:47.18] I tell you I'm fine
[01:49.64] But sometimes I just pretend
[01:52.38] Wish you were holding me
[01:54.82] Wish you were still holding me, oh-oh, oh
[01:58.85] I just never thought
[02:00.96] That I would be replaced so soon
[02:03.71] I wasn't prepared
[02:06.55] To hear those words from you
[02:09.85] I know I wanted to be free
[02:15.14] Yeah, baby this is how we wanted it to be
[02:19.89] But if you see me walking by
[02:23.04] And the tears are in my eyes
[02:25.89] Look away, baby look away
[02:30.92] And if we meet on the streets someday
[02:34.04] And I don't know what to say
[02:36.98] Look away, baby look away
[02:42.45] Don't look at me
[02:45.03] I don't want you to see me this way
[02:51.08]
[02:58.13] But if you see me walking by
[03:01.88] And the tears are in my eyes
[03:04.65] Look away, baby look away
[03:09.55] And if we meet on the streets someday
[03:12.97] And I don't know what to say
[03:15.72] Look away, baby look away
[03:21.01] Don't look at me
[03:23.91] I don't want you to see me this way
[03:28.04] But if you see me walking by
[03:29.76] And the tears are in my eyes
[03:32.32] Look away, baby look away
[03:37.52] Don't look at me
[03:40.63] I don't want you to see me this way
[03:45.01] When you called me up this morning
[03:46.47] Told me 'bout the new love you found
[03:48.82] I said I'm happy for you
[03:51.23] I'm really happy for ya
[03:53.11]
