The Jackson 5 - Walk Right Now lyrics

Here, when all my work is done

She calls and she says, dear, can I come?

I say to her, that you know our love has gone

But aggressive heart, you're really not the one

She comes to the door, crying at my feet

Guilt shines in her eyes

As she slowly sinks in deep

You know our love couldn't last forever

Persuade your way, but you ain't clever

I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'

Walk right now, I ain't playin'

Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'

Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

Here, I'm crying, I can't sleep

I sigh, 'cause I thought this would never be

I say ooh, I'm screamin' out for someone

And now she's knockin' on the door for me

She just won't leave me alone

She wants to speak with me

And persuade me in her arms

And how she's callin' on the phone for me

Just won't leave me alone

Deep down inside she's trying to be clever,

To love once more then leave me forever

I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'

Walk right now, I ain't playin'

Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'

Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

I don't care, what you're sayin'

Walk right now, I ain't playin'

Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'

Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

I try so hard to cope with you

I can't bear with the things you put me through

To love as friends, I wish that we could see

But persuasive heart, you just won't

let pure friendship be

You know our love couldn't last forever

Persuade your way, but you ain't clever

I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'

Walk right now, I ain't playin'

Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'

Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

I don't care, what you're sayin'

Walk right now, I ain't playin'

Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'

Don't look back, you ain't stayin'
