Rumors getting round
My sweet baby, put me down
Ain't a girl alive with

The suffering I feel inside

Love's not making me a 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


(CHORUS)
Shake hands and walk away
(So look at him crying)

Come on, come on, come on, come on
I'm gonna shake hands and walk away
(So 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 more to life than 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


(CHORUS) 2X

Shake hands and walk away

(Walk away, walk away)

There's more to life than you

And you'd better run too

(CHORUS) to fade
