David Ruffin Walk Away from Love lyrics

I'm gonna walk away from love
Gonna walk away, gonna walk away
I'm gonna walk away from love
Gonna walk away, gonna walk away
Gonna walk away, gonna walk away

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 the fear that builds within me
Every time you touch my hand
And a dread that shakes my body
That even I don't understand

So I'm leaving
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
It's time for playing it smart
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from love
(Walk away from love)
Before love breaks my heart

I'm gonna walk away from love
Gonna walk away, gonna walk away
Gonna walk away, gonna walk away

Ooh 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 some day
And I'd rather leave you holding on
Than pushing me away

So I'm leaving, yes I am
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
It's time to play it smart
(I'm leaving, yes I am)
I'm gonna walk away from love
(Walk away from love)
Before love breaks my heart

I'm gonna walk away from love
Gonna walk away, gonna walk away
Ooh baby

I'm gonna walk away from love
(It's not that I don't love you)
(You know how much I do)
Gonna walk away, gonna walk away
(Oh baby)
Gonna walk away, gonna walk away

I'm leaving baby
It's time for playing it smart
(I'm gonna walk away from love)
Oh, don't break my heart
(Gonna walk away, gonna walk away)

I'll walk away, baby
(I'm gonna walk away from love)
