Burt Bacharach
Walkin’ Backwards Down the Road
[Chorus]
Walkin' backwards down the road
Looking all around
Never thought I'd wind up
Walkin' backwards down the road
Leading out of town
I just got to go and

[Verse 1]
I left a note behind me in your mailbox
When you wake up, I'll be gone
I hope that you'll be happy with your new love
I just can't keep hanging on

[Pre-Chorus]
Everywhere I look
There are memories of you
And I can't take it
That's why I'm

[Chorus]
Walkin' backwards down the road
Looking all around
Never thought I'd wind up
Walkin' backwards down the road
Leading out of town
I don't want to go but
[Verse 2]
How can I stay and watch you walk together
When I pass you on the street?
How can I go to parties or a movie?
I just panic when we meet

[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere there's a place
I can get over you
And I must find it
That's why I'm

[Chorus]
Walkin' backwards down the road (Walkin' backwards)
Looking all around (Looking)
Never thought I'd wind up
Walkin' backwards down the road (Walkin' backwards)
Feeling so low down (Feeling so low down)
Feeling so low down (Feeling so low down)
Walking out of town

[Outro]
(Walkin' backwards)
(Looking)
Never thought I'd wind up
(Walkin' backwards)
