Don'T Walk Away

Don't walk away,
 look back over your shoulder
 come back and talk.

I'm standing here
 don't walk away
 come back and talk.

What spooked you so
 hurt your feelings, 
 made you want to go
come back and talk.

That's better, take a step forward
 nothing I said could be more straightforward
 please, come back and talk, don't walk away.

Don't walk away
 let me hold you close, 
 let me kiss your lips and take your hand
we'll talk.

I'll say it again
 come back and talk
  I love you, Don't walk away.
