Walking the Back Streets

You know my baby told me not so very long ago He said, "I don't love you, baby And you got to, you got to let me go" And that was too much, too much for me That's why I walked the back streets and cry You know it hurts me so bad To hear my baby say Hear my baby say goodbye He said another reason that makes me wanna leave You ain't got enough of nothin' to keep me, keep me ? That was too much, oh, too much for me That's why I walked the back streets, the back street and cry Oh yeah Oh, it hurts me, it hurts me so bad Oh, to hear my baby Hear my baby say goodbye He said, "You're a good woman, Etta To treat me like you do" He said, "You ain't done nothin' to me I just can't stay here with you" I stood and watch my baby as far as I could see You know the men started runnin' After waiving, waiving goodbye to me That was too much, too much for me That's why I walked the back streets and cry Oh yeah You know it hurts me, it hurts me so bad Oh, to hear my baby Hear my baby say goodbye Hear and say goodbye You know it hurts me so bad To hear my baby say goodbye That's why I walked the back streets The back streets and cry Oh, I said it hurts me, it hurts me so bad Hear my baby say, so long Oh, it hurts me, hurts me, hurts me so bad Hear my baby say, hear my baby say goodbye Oh baby, oh, oh, it hurts me so bad Hear my baby say goodbye That why I walked the back streets That why I walked the back streets and cry Oh, that why I walked the back streets and cry Cry, cry --- Walking The Back Streets - Etta James
