You think I’m stu pid, but the (Bb6)truth is that it’s Cu pid, ba by; (C6)lov ing you has made me this way.

So be (G)fore you point your fin ger, get your hand off of my trig ger, oh yeah.

You need to know the sit u (Bb6)a tion’s get ting old, and now the (C6)more you talk, the less I can take.

I’m (G)look ing for at ten tion, not an oth er ques tion, should you stay or should you go?

Well, if (G)you don’t have the an swer, why you still stand ing here?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, just walk a way.

(Just walk a way.)

(Just walk a way.

I’ve wait ed here for you like (Bb6)a kid wait ing af ter school, so (C6)tell me how come you nev er showed?

I gave you ev ’ry thing and (Bb6)nev er asked for an y thing, and (C6)look at me.

has I’m all a lone.

So be (G)fore you start de fend ing, ba by, stop all your pre tend ing.

oh yeah.

I know you know I know, so (Bb6)what’s the point in be ing slow; let’s (C6)get this show on the road to day.

I’m (G)look ing for at ten tion, not an oth er ques tion, should you stay or should you go?

Well, if (G)you don’t have the an swer, why you still stand ing here?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, just walk a way.

I want a love, I want a fire, to feel the burn, my de sires.

I want a man by my side, not a boy who runs and hides.

Are you gon na fight for me, (Bb6)die for me, live and breathe for me?

Do you care for me, ’cause (Eb)if you don’t then just be lieve, I’m (G)look ing for at ten tion, not an oth er ques tion, should you stay or should you go?

Well, if (G)you don’t have the an swer, why you still stand ing here?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, just walk a way.

If (G)you don’t have the an swer,

walk a way.

Walk a way.

Walk a way.

Walk a way.
