David Ruffin – Walk Away From Love: Lyrics and Music Video

It’s not that i don’t love you
You know how much i do
And it’s not that i’ve found someone
To take the place of you

It’s just a fear that builds within me
Everytime you touch my hand
And a dread that shakes my body
That even i don’t understand

So i’m leaving
This time i’m playing it smart
I’m gonna walk away from love
Before love breaks my heart

Oh, you’re clinging to me tighter
Than you ever have before
I don’t understand it
But i know it’s gonna take everything i’ve got

To keep walking out the door
But those arms you’ve got around me
Will let me go someday
And i’d rather leave you holding on

Than pushing me away
So i’m leaving, yes i am
This time i’m playing it smart
I’m gonna walk away from love
Before love breaks my heart

So i’m leaving, yes i am
This time i’m playing it smart
I’m gonna walk away from love
Before love breaks my heart

Oh, baby
It’s not that i don’t love you
You know how much i do
Oh, baby

I’m leaving, baby
This time i’m playing it smart
Oh, don’t break my heart
Oh, i’m walking away, baby

Oh, will you let me go
I’d rather have you holding on, holding on
Oh, than pushing me away
So i’m leaving

I know you’re playing it smart
Don’t you break my heart, baby
I’m leaving, baby
And it’s not that i’ve found someome new

No can take the place of you
But i’m leaving
This time i’m playing it smart
I’m walking away from love
