Hey girl' what you gonna do?
If you get too sentimental
He's gonna have a better hold on you
You're gonna have to pay
For every minute you stay
If you want to do something for yourself today
Try walkin' away
Hey girl, did your momma tell you?
If the boys didn't like you
That you weren't no better than a worn out shoe
The words fade away
Mamma was a fool to say
If you want to do something for yourself today
Try walkin' away
Hey girl,
Take a walk tonight
You don't owe no man a thing
If he isn't gonna treat you right
You ain't some record to be played
On someone's hit parade
If you want to do something for yourself today
Try walkin' away
