Walk Away

Alanis Morissette · Alanis [1991]

A downtown cafe

A Saturday evenin' and the place is about to be closed

I'm meeting my baby, yeah

And order my hundredth cup of coffee today

My hands are shakin'.



At half past seven

I'm sittin here waitin' for my boy; all alone for too long

It's after eleven, yeah

I'm tired of waitin' and I'm gonna go home

'Cause I don't need this.



You never think twice before you break all the rules

You gotta be crazy if you think I'm a fool.



I'll walk away and say goodbye

If you don't want me any more

(I've got my pride)

I'll walk away and say goodbye

If I don't get the love we had before

(Not satisfied).



He finally gets here

I'm waitin' for him to ask me why there's a frown on my face

He orders a cold beer

He has an excuse about his car breakin' down, but I don't buy it!

You're givin' me somethin' I don't need any more

Just gimme the word and I'll be slammin' the door.



I'll walk away and say goodbye

If you don't want me any more

(I've got my pride)

I'll walk away and say goodbye

If I don't get the love we had before

(Not satisfied).



I'll walk away and say goodbye

If I don't get the love we had before.



(Good evening

We're gonna do a song that you've never heard before.)



His best intentions

Are never the same as what he does of the end of the day

I'm feelin' the tension, yeah

Don't gimme no reasons 'cause you don't comprehend

What am I feelin'?



You're givin' me somethin' I don't need any more

Just gimme the word and I'll be slammin' the door.



I'll walk away and say goodbye

If you don't want me any more.



I'll walk away and say goodbye

If I don't get the love we had before.



I'll walk away and say goodbye

If you don't want me any more

(I've got my pride)

I'll walk away and say goodbye

If I don't get the love we had before.



So tell me now

Just say the words

It won't be long

I'll be long, long gone...



I'll walk away and say goodbye...

Say goodbye...

Goodbye...



I'll walk away and say goodbye...
