[Verse 1: Bill Champlin]

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"

Found someone else

I guess I won't be coming around

I guess it's over, baby

It's really over, baby, whoa...

And from what you saying

I know you've gotten over me

It'll never be the way it used to be

So if it's got to be this way

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

[Chorus: Bill Champlin, with bandmates]

But if you see me walking by

And the tears are in my eyes

Look away, baby, look away

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

[Verse 2: Bill Champlin]

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, whoa...

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, with bandmates]

But if you see me walking by

And the tears are in my eyes

Look away, baby, look away

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Bill Champlin, with bandmates]

If you see me walking by

And the tears are in my eyes

Look away, baby, look away

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

If 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

[Outro: Bill Champlin]

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"
