I Just Walked Away Lyrics - The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings - Tony Joe White

I walked out of your apartment 

I left you sleeping on your bed 

I won't have to look back over my shoulder 

But I did not turn my head 

We had a good arrangement, yes, we did 

But now I felt the need to move 

But things had not worked out like I planned 

'Cause I've been come attached to you 

There was no way to tell you, baby 

All the things I had to say 

So I just walked away 

And mistin' rain had started falling 

The kind that chills you to the bone 

And I had a soulful feeling 

But it did not stay too long 

Oh, I knew I had it coming 

But I believe it'd come and gone 

And this lonesome feeling inside me, oh Lord 

Makes me know I stayed too long 

There was no way to tell you, baby 

All the things I wanted to say 

So I just walked away 

I left you baby, uhu, I hated to go 

But I just could not explain 

The way I felt about it 

Uhu baby, I left you 

I hated to leave you 

Sleeping on your bed 

When you needed me most 

Uh, I left you 

A mistin' rain was falling 

The kind that chills you 

When you need somebody 

To lay beside you 

And there's a time 

That I picked to leave you and I hated to go 

But it just couldn't tell you 

The way I felt about the situation 

Uhu baby, I want it so bad to find some way 

Of just coming out and telling you 

That I did not want to love you so much 

Oh, but I just couldn't, so I just walked away
