Walking The Back Streets Lyrics - Etta James

You know my baby told me not so very long ago 

He said, "I don't love you, baby 

And you got to, you got to let me go" 

And that was too much, too much for me 

That's why I walked the back streets and cry 

You know it hurts me so bad 

To hear my baby say 

Hear my baby say goodbye 

He said another reason that makes me wanna leave 

You ain't got enough of nothin' to keep me, keep me [Incomprehensible] 

That was too much, oh, too much for me 

That's why I walked the back streets, the back street and cry 

Oh yeah

Oh, it hurts me, it hurts me so bad 

Oh, to hear my baby 

Hear my baby say goodbye 

He said, "You're a good woman, Etta 

To treat me like you do" 

He said, "You ain't done nothin' to me 

I just can't stay here with you" 

I stood and watch my baby as far as I could see 

You know the men started runnin' 

After waiving, waiving goodbye to me 

That was too much, too much for me 

That's why I walked the back streets and cry 

Oh yeah 

You know it hurts me, it hurts me so bad 

Oh, to hear my baby 

Hear my baby say goodbye 

Hear and say goodbye

You know it hurts me so bad 

To hear my baby say goodbye 

That's why I walked the back streets 

The back streets and cry 

Oh, I said it hurts me, it hurts me so bad 

Hear my baby say, so long 

Oh, it hurts me, hurts me, hurts me so bad 

Hear my baby say, hear my baby say goodbye 

Oh baby, oh, oh, it hurts me so bad 

Hear my baby say goodbye 

That why I walked the back streets 

That why I walked the back streets and cry 

Oh, that why I walked the back streets and cry 

Cry, cry
