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
