I keep it classy by this sh*t ain’t fair Feeling borderline desperate, delusional I should have known better See I was ready to dive in but now you got cold feet Soon enough you’re gonna realize You’ll never find another woman like me Well go on with your bad self tough guy See I won’t wait around ‘till you change your mind They say to let it go, that’s how you know So I’m gonna let the bird fly ooh Do what you gotta do Walk away, walk away boo Do what you gotta do Walk away, walk away boo Do what you gotta do Walk away, walk away boo Do what you gotta do Walk a— walk away boo I’m too real, I’m too fly And around me you come alive I’m saying you can run But you can’t hide from the truth, ooh baby Hey, walk a— walk a— walk away Walk a— walk a— now walk away now Walk a— walk a— walk a— hey Walk a— walk a— woah Do what you gotta do Walk away, walk away boo Do what you gotta do Walk away, walk away boo (Now walk away now) Do what you gotta do Walk away, walk away boo Do what you gotta do Walk a— walk away boo (Now walk away boo) You’re gonna miss my love
