Walk Away
Kelly Clarkson · Greatest Hits – Chapter 1 [2012]
Every other, undercover, telling you what to say (say)
You think I'm stupid
But the truth is, that it's Cupid, baby
Loving you has made me this way (way)
So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger, oh yeah
You need to know this situations getting old
And now the more you talk, the less I can say
I'm looking for attention,
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away (just walk away, just walk away)
I waited here for you like a kid waiting after school
So tell me, how come you never showed (showed)
I gave you everything and never asked for anything
And look at me, I'm all alone (alone)
So before you start defending, baby
Stop all your pretending
I know you know I know
So what's the point in being slow
Let's get this show on the road today, hey
I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away (just walk away, just walk away)
I want a love, I want a fire
To feel the burn, my desires
I want a man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me
Die for me
Live and breathe for me
Do you care for me
Cause if you don't then just leave
I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
If you don't have the answer
Just walk away
Just leave
Walk away, walk away
