Walk Away with Me - Johnnie Taylor

Don't like it when you call me precious Coming out it sounds so vicious Don't like it when you're sympathizing With your eyes so patronizing Never say never You never thought I wouldn't need you And neither did I No more co-dependence No more mending fences It all leads to bad dreams Now I'm wide awake No more psychodrama No more of your dirty karma Believe me I wash my hands clean Watch me walk away Sorry I don't have a tissue For all your pathetic issues Sorry, I don't feel so sorry When you touch me, you're in such a hurry Never say never You never thought I wouldn't leave you And neither did I No more co-dependence No more mending fences It all leads to bad dreams Now I'm wide awake No more psychodrama No more of your dirty karma Believe me I wash my hands clean Watch me walk away Don't wanna be saving your life Don't wanna be the edge of your life You're killing me slowly (you're killing me slowly) Don't wanna waste one minute more Watching you come on the floor I can't find it, you know me La, la, la-la-la-la, la, la, la-la-la-la Oh, oh La, la, la-la-la-la, la, la, la-la-la-la Oh, oh-oh No more co-dependence No more mending fences It all leads to bad dreams Now I'm wide awake No more psychodrama No more of your dirty karma Believe me I wash my hands clean Watch me walk away Watch me walk away Watch me walk away No more No, no, no Watch me walk away Watch me walk away No more

I wish I could stand on a star I wish I could be where you are They say, don't you ever give up It's so hard to be somethin' when you're not But I have walked alone, with the stars in the moonlit night I have walked alone, no one by my side Now I walk with you, with my head held high In the darkest sky, I feel so alive Adrift, a lonely little cloud Above ground where I stand so proud My face glowing loudly through the crowd As I walk with the beauty of the night But I have walked alone, with the stars in the moonlit night I have walked alone, no one by my side Now I walk with you, with my head held high In the darkest sky, I feel so alive Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh But I have walked alone, with the stars in the moonlit night I have walked alone, no one by my side Now I walk with you, with my head held high In the darkest sky, I feel so alive

Walk With Me As I prepare for another day Not knowing well the things that I might face I bow my head and begin to pray These are the words you'll hear me say (Chorus): Walk with me Lord All the way So I can make it through another day A closer friend I'll never find I want Jesus, I want Jesus to walk with me. If you feel that it's too much for you And if the sun is out and your skies are blue It's always wise before you start your day Look up to heaven and begin to pray (Chorus): Walk with me Lord All the way So I can make it through another day A closer friend I'll never find I want Jesus, I want Jesus to walk with me. (2x) I want Jesus to walk with me Set my soul and my spirit free Walk with me Lord and hold my hand I want Jesus, I want Jesus to walk with me Walk with me Lord through the storm and the rain If the skies are blue or a hurricane A closer friend I will never find I want Jesus, I want Jesus to walk with me (Repeat 1st verse) I want Jesus to walk with me I really want Jesus to walk with me While I'm on this tedious journey I want Jesus, I really want Jesus to walk with me (Repeat 3x to fade)

Put your lips close to mine As long as they don't touch Out of focus, eye to eye 'Til the gravity's too much And I'll do anything you say If you say it with your hands And I'd be smart to walk away But you're quicksand This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous And I, I, I like it I can't decide if it's a choice Getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice Asking you to stay All we are is skin and bone Trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you're friction This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This hope is treacherous This daydream is dangerous This hope is treacherous I, I, I I, I, I I, I, I Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I will follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it

Elevator buttons and morning air Strangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairs If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares But right now, my time is theirs Seems like there's always someone who disapproves They'll judge it like they know about me and you And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do The jury's out, but my choice is you So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours You never know what people have up their sleeves Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me Lurking in the shadows with their lip-gloss smiles But I don't care, 'cause right now you're mine And you'll say, "Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours" And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong, and Your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong, and I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you 'Cause I love the gap between your teeth And I love the riddles that you speak And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos Will be ignored, 'cause my heart is yours So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine But they can't take what's ours They can't take what's ours The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours

Tall, dark, and superman He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away To save the world or go to work It's the same thing to me He's got his mothers eyes, his father's ambition I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him I hang on every word you say And you smile and say, "How are you?" I'll say, "Just fine" I always forget to tell you I love you, I love you forever I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world, I'll be around And I watch superman fly away Come back, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down Tall, dark and beautiful He's complicated, he's irrational But I hope someday you'll take me away and save the day, yeah Something in his deep brown eyes has me singing He's not all bad like his reputation And I can't hear one single word they say And you leave, got places to be and I'll be okay I always forget to tell you I love you I loved you from the very first day I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world I'll be around And I watch superman fly away Come back, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down And I watch you fly around the world And I hope you don't save some other girl Don't forget, don't forget about me I'm far away but I'll never let you go I'm lovestruck and looking out the window Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be Right here, wishing the flowers were from you Wishing the card was from you Wishing the call was from you 'Cause I've loved you from the very first day I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world, I'll be around Forever and ever I watch superman fly away I swear, I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la When you come back down
