Walking Backwards Down the Road Songtext
von Dionne Warwick

Walkin′ backwards down the road
Lookin' all around
Never thought I′d wind up
Walkin' backwards down the road
Leading out of town
Oh, I just gotta go and

I left a note behind me in your mailbox
When you wake up I'll be gone
I hope that you′ll be happy with your new love
I just can′t keep hangin' on
Everywhere I look there are memories of you
And I can′t take it


That's why I′m walkin' backwards down the road
Lookin′ all around
Never thought I'd wind up
Walkin' backwards down the road
Leading out of town
Oh, I just gotta go and

How can I stay and watch you walk together
When I pass you on the street?
How can I go to parties or a movie?
I just panic when we meet
Somewhere there′s a place I can get over you
And I must find it

That′s why I'm walkin′ backwards down the road
Leading out of town
Never thought I'd wind up
Walkin′ backwards down the road
Feelin' so low down
Feelin′ so low down
Walkin' out of town

Walkin' backwards, ooh
Walkin′ backwards, ooh
Walkin′ backwards
