If You Should Walk Away Songtext
von Diana Ross & The Supremes and The Temptations

So close, yet so far away
In your arms but not to stay
Love should never be (love should never be)
When one′s not free

Hidden loves always intrude
And now she's needin′ you (she's needin' you)
If you should walk away
If you should walk away

You know it isn′t fair
You know she needs you there
You gotta stay and be a man
Do the very best you can, yeah
Yeah

I need you more than ever now
I love you, yes I do
But be a man, be a guiding light
Through the longest hours
Through her darkest days


′Cause darling if you should walk away
She'd be alone
If you should ever walk away

When she needs you most
When she needs you close
I know if you treat her this way
You′ll do the same to me someday
So be a man

Go away
No, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, don't go away
Don′t you ever go away

Each time, oh, you come back to me
It gets harder, darlin'
To make you leave (to make you leave)
If you should walk away, I may not care
(If you should walk) Ever walk away

I′ll be right there, yeah though it isn't fair
Yeah, I can't stand the pain I′m in
I may not be this strong again
Be a man, go away
Oh, be a man, darlin′ stay
