Walk Away

(album: Alanis - 1991)

(Good evening)
(We're gonna do a song that you never heard before)

A downtown café Saturday evening
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 shaking

At half past seven I'm sitting here waiting
For my boy all alone for too long
It's after eleven, yeah
I'm tired of waiting and I'm gonna go home
'Cause I don't need this

You better think twice before you break all the rules
You got to be crazy if you think I'm a fool

I'll walk away and say goodbye
If you don't want me anymore
(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 waiting 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
Breaking down but I don't buy it

You're giving me something I don't need anymore
Just give me the word and I'll be slamming the door

I'll walk away and say goodbye
If you don't want me anymore
(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 you don't want me anymore

(Good evening)
(We're gonna do a song that you never heard before)

His best intentions are never the same
As what he does of the end of the day
I'm feeling the tension, yeah
Don't give me no reasons
'Cause you don't comprehend what am I feeling

You better think twice before you break all the rules
You gotta be crazy if you think I'm a fool
You're giving me something I don't need anymore
Just give me the word and I'll be slamming the door

I'll walk away and say goodbye
If you don't want me anymore
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 anymore
(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 you don't want me anymore
(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 word
It won't be long
I'll be long, long gone

I'll walk away and say goodbye
I'll walk away just say the word
I'll walk away and say goodbye
