Look Away - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Bill Champlin]

When you called me up this morning, told me 'bout the new love you found

I said, "I'm happy for you, I'm really happy for you"

Found someone else, I guess I won't be coming 'round

I guess it's over, baby, it's really over, baby, woah

And from what you said, I know you've gotten over me

It'll never be the way it used to be

So if it's gotta be this way

Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay

[Chorus: Bill Champlin, Chicago]

But if you see me walking by and the tears are in my eyes

Look away, baby, look away

And if we meet on the streets someday and I don't know what to say

Look away, baby, look away

Don't look at me

I don't want you to see me this way

When we both agreed as lovers we were better off as friends

That's how it had to be, yeah, that's how it had to be

I tell you I'm fine, but sometimes I just pretend

Wish you were holding me, wish you were still holding me, woah

I just never thought that I would be replaced so soon

I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you

I know I wanted to be free

Yeah, baby, this is how we wanted it to be

[Chorus: Bill Champlin, Chicago]

But if you see me walking by and the tears are in my eyes

Look away, baby, look away

And if we meet on the streets someday and I don't know what to say

Look away, baby, look away

Don't look at me

I don't want you to see me this way

[Chorus: Bill Champlin, Chicago]

If you see me walking by and the tears are in my eyes

Look away, baby, look away

And if we meet on the streets someday and I don't know what to say

Look away, baby, look away

Don't look at me

I don't want you to see me

[Post-Chorus: Bill Champlin, Chicago]

You see me walking by and the tears are in my eyes

Look away, baby, look away

Don't look at me

I don't want you to see me this way

When you called me up this morning, told me about the new love you found

I said, "I'm happy for you, I'm really happy for you"
