- Look Away LyricsWell, you called me up this morning
Told me 'bout the new love you found
Said, "I'm happy for you.
I'm really happy for you."
Found someone else, I guess I won't be coming 'round
I guess it's over, baby
It's really over, baby, woooh
And from what you're saying
I know you've gotten over me
It'll never be the way it used to be
So if it's gotta be this way
Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay
But if you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
If we meet on the street some day,
And I don't know what to say,
Look away, baby, look away.
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me this way.
When we both agreed as lovers
We were better off as friends
That's how it had to be
Yeah, that's how it had to be
I tell you I'm fine,
But sometimes I just pretend
Wish you were holding me,
Wish you were still holding me, oooh
I just never thought
That I would be replaced so soon
I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you
I know I wanted to be free
Yeah, baby this is how we wanted it to be
But if you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
And if we meet on the street some day,
And I don't know what to say,
Look away, baby, look away.
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me this way.
If you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
And if we meet on the street some day,
And I don't know what to say,
Look away, baby, look away.
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me this way.
If you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me...
Well, you called me up this morning
Told me 'bout the new love you found
I said, "I'm happy for you.
I'm really happy for you."
Told me 'bout the new love you found
Said, "I'm happy for you.
I'm really happy for you."
Found someone else, I guess I won't be coming 'round
I guess it's over, baby
It's really over, baby, woooh

So if it's gotta be this way
Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay
But if you see me walking by,
And the tears are in my eyes,
Look away, baby, look away.
If we meet on the street some day,
And I don't know what to say,
Look away, baby, look away.
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me this way.

Look away, baby, look away.

Look away, baby, look away.
Don't look at me
I don't want you to see me...
Well, you called me up this morning

I said, "I'm happy for you.
I'm really happy for you."
