Walking the Back Streets Lyrics

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 walk 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 nothing
To keep me, keep me halfway please
That was too much, oh, too much for me

That's why I walk the back street, the back street and cry, oh yeah
You know 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 nothing to me
I just can′t stay here with you
I stood and watched my baby
As far as I could see
You know the man started running
After waving, waving goodbye to me
That was too much, too much for me

That's why I walk the back street 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 him say goodbye
You know it hurt, hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say goodbye
That′s why I walk the back street, the back streets and cry
Oh, I said it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say so long
Oh, it hurts me, it hurts me, hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say, hear my baby say goodbye

Oh baby, oh, oh
It hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say goodbye
That's why I walk the back streets
That′s why I walk the back streets and cry
Oh, that's why I walk the back streets and cry, cry, cry
Woo, woo, woo
