Don't Look Back

About Don't Look Back

"Don't Look Back" is a 1965 song recorded by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label. The flip side to their Top 20 hit "My Baby", "Don't Look Back" broke out and became a hit among the R&B audience on its own, reaching #14 on the R&B charts. Considered one of original lead singer Paul Williams' showcases, "Don't Look Back" was regularly employed as the closing number for Temptations live performances. Although the original flip side, "My Baby", was initially more popular with pop audiences at the time, over the decades, "Don't Look Back" has proven to be the far more popular and enduring tune. It was also performed by the group on The Ed Sullivan Show. There are no known cover versions of "My Baby". The song inspired many cover versions by Al Green, Phil Collins, Bobby Womack, The Persuasions, Teena Marie and Sugababes. In 1978 Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger covered it as a reggae tune as "(You Gotta Walk And) Don't Look Back". In 2008, Belgian singer Dirk De Smet covered it as "Walk and Don't Look Back". more »

(You've gotta walk) Don't look back
If it's love that you're running from 
There is no hiding place 
Just your problems, no one else's problems 
You just have to face 

If you just put your hand in mine 
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind 
Gonna walk and don't look back
Gonna walk and don't look back

Now if your first lover let you down 
There's something that can be done 
Don't kill your faith in love 
Remembering what's become 

If you just put your hand in mine 
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind 
Gonna walk and don't look back
Gonna walk and don't look back

Places behind you 
There to remind you 

Now if your first lover let you down 
There's something that can be done 
Gonna heal your faith in love 
Remembering what's been done 

If you just put your hand in mine 
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind 
Gonna walk and don't look back
Gonna walk and don't look back

How far you been walkin' now 
About 100 miles 
You still got some more to walk 
I know, I got a little more to go 
I'm gettin' kind of tired but I got to keep on walkin' 
I'm walkin' barefoot 
You've got to walk and don't look back
