Shake Hands And Walk Away Crying
                             "Lou Christie"
                      Peak Position;# 95 in 1967

Rumors gettin' 'round, my sweet baby put me down
Ain't a girl alive with the suffering I feel inside
Mine's not a peppering fool
And when you go with me you play by my rules
If that's the way she wants to play, then I'll forget her
She's thinkin' how she'll beat me to the punch, but I won't let her

CHORUS:
Shake hands and walk away...(and look at him cryin')
No no no no no no no
I'm gonna shake hands and walk away...(and look at him cryin')
No no no no no no no no

I'll never say to you, breakin' up is hard to do
'Cause I've got my pride; a big man never cries
There's much of life in you, & you'd better run too
Knowing it's our last goodbye, it's hard to face you
Don't expect me back for more, I'll just erase you

(chorus)
      ---(Music Interlude)---
(chorus)


Shake hands and walk away...(ring of echo chamber)
There's much of life in you, and you'd better run too...

(repeat chorus fading out)
