I Just Walked Away - Tony Joe White

I walked out of your apartment

I left you sleeping on your bed

I won’t have to look back over my shoulder

But I did not turn my head

We had a good arrangement, yes, we did

But now I felt the need to move

But things had not worked out like I planned

'Cause I’ve been come attached to you

There was no way to tell you, baby

All the things I had to say

So I just walked away

And mistin' rain had started falling

The kind that chills you to the bone

And I had a soulful feeling

But it did not stay too long

Oh, I knew I had it coming

But I believe it’d come and gone

And this lonesome feeling inside me, oh Lord

Makes me know I stayed too long

There was no way to tell you, baby

All the things I wanted to say

So I just walked away

I left you baby, uhu, I hated to go

But I just could not explain

The way I felt about it

Uhu baby, I left you

I hated to leave you

Sleeping on your bed

When you needed me most

Uh, I left you

A mistin' rain was falling

The kind that chills you

When you need somebody

To lay beside you

And there’s a time

That I picked to leave you and I hated to go

But it just couldn’t tell you

The way I felt about the situation

Uhu baby, I want it so bad to find some way

Of just coming out and telling you

That I did not want to love you so much

Oh, but I just couldn’t, so I just walked away
