She never knew where she went wrong,
She drove him away with her cocaine tongue,
You shouldn't be around where you don't belong

And everybody's telling you so
He came around and took her out one night,
It was going pretty good and then they started to fight,

Now they ain't talkin', but they're both all right;
Does it sound like a couple you know?
Yeah, yeah.


She talks of loving that man 'til she dies;
Thinks her heart is breaking, but it won't break twice;

Looking for the shoulder and the good advice,
When your lover ain't your lover, my friend.
He don't go out, she's waiting in for the call,

Bangs her pretty head against the big, bad wall,
Playing with her food and she ain't happy at all,
Waiting for the moment to end


Oh, yeah, now,
It takes more to walk away

Oh, yeah, now,
It takes more to walk away
Oh, yeah, now,

It takes more to walk away
Oh, yeah, now,
It takes more to walk away

Yeah, yeah

Too proud to put all the boys to shame,

Too loud to sit in the quiet game,
Too weak to lift a single ounce of blame
And she didn't even tell him to go!

He couldn't lie in the bed they made,
Saw it getting dirty all the time he stayed,
Left her in the morning when he just got paid,

Does it sound like a couple you know?

Oh, yeah, now,

It takes more to walk away
Oh, yeah, now,
It takes more to walk away

Oh, yeah, now,
It takes more to walk away
Oh, yeah, now,

It takes more to walk away
