Walk Away

About Walk Away

"Walk Away" is a pop-dance and freestyle song co-written by Alanis Morissette, Leslie Howe, Louise Reny and Frank Levin, and produced by Howe for Morissette's debut album, Alanis (1991). Its protagonist sends a warning to her boyfriend who "never think[s] twice before [he] break all the rules", telling him "I'll walk away and say good bye if you don't want me anymore ... if I don't get the love we had before". It was released to radio and television as the album's second single in 1991 (see 1991 in music), but it was not given a commercial release. The promotional single for the song includes a radio edit only. The song charted at number 35 in Canada. It was also featured in the film Problem Child 2. "Walk Away" was one of the demo recordings Leslie Howe and Morissette created with keyboardist Serge Côté in the studio, after Howe and her entertainment manager Stephan Klovan had decided to try to secure a record contract for her. more »

A downtown cafe Saturday evenin' and the
Place is about to be closed I'm meeting my baby
Yeah and order my hundredth cup of coffee today
My hands are shakin'

At half past seven I'm sittin here waitin' for
My boy all alone for too long it's after eleven
Yeah I'm tired of waitin' and I'm gonna go home
Cause I don't need this

You never think twice before you break all the rules
You gotta be crazy if you think I'm a fool

I'll walk away and say good bye
If you don't want me anymore
I've got my pride
I'll walk away and say good bye
If I don't get the love we had before
Not satisfied

He finally gets here I'm waitin' for him to ask me
Why there's a frown on my face he orders a
Cold beer he has an excuse about his car
Breakin' down but I don't buy it
You're givin' me somethin' I don't need anymore
Just gimme the word and I'll be slammin' the door

I'll walk away and say good bye
If you don't want me anymore
I've got my pride
I'll walk away and say good bye
If I don't get the love we had before
Not satisfied

His best intentions are never the same as what
He does of the end of the day I'm feelin' the
Tension yeah don't gimme no reasons cause you
Don't comprehend what am I feelin'

You never think twice before you break all the rules
You gotta be crazy if you think I'm a fool
You're givin' me somethin' I don't need anymore
Just gimme the word and I'll be slammin' the door

I'll walk away and say good bye
If you don't want me anymore
I've got my pride
I'll walk away and say good bye
If I don't get the love we had before
Not satisfied

I'll walk away and say good bye
If you don't want me anymore
I've got my pride
I'll walk away and say good bye
If I don't get the love we had before
Not satisfied

So tell me now
Just say the word
It won't be long
I'll be long long gone...
