WALK RIGHT NOW

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, and Randy Jackson

 

 

Here, when all my work is done, babe

She calls and she says

Dear, can I come

I say to her

That you know our love has gone

But aggressive heart

No, really not the one

She comes to the door

Crying at my feet

Guilt shines in her eyes

As she slowly sinks in deep

 

You know our love couldn’t last forever

Persuade your way

But you ain’t clever

I close the door and I say never

 

(I don’t care)

What you’re saying

(Walk right now)

I ain’t playing

(Love elsewhere)

For you I’m praying

(Don’t look back)

You ain’t staying

 

Here, I’m crying

I can’t sleep

I sigh

’Cause I thought this would never be

I say ooh

I’m screaming out for someone

And now she’s knockin’ on the door for me

She just won’t leave me alone

She wants to speak with me

And persuade me in her arms

And now she’s calling on the phone for me

Oh, just won’t leave me alone

 

Deep down inside she’s trying to be clever

To love once more then leave me forever

I close the door and I say never

 

(I don’t care)

What you’re saying

(Walk right now)

I ain’t playing

(Love elsewhere)

For you I’m praying

(Don’t look back)

You ain’t staying

 

(I don’t care)

What you’re saying

(Walk right now)

What you’re doing to me

(Love elsewhere)

What you’re doing to me

(Don’t look back)

Wooo!

 

I try so hard to cope with you

I can’t bear the things you put me through

To love as friends

No, I wish that we could see

But persuasive heart

Just won’t let pure friendship be

 

You know our love couldn’t last forever

Persuade your way

But you ain’t clever

I close the door and I say never

 

(I don’t care)

What you’re saying

(Walk right now)

I ain’t playing

(Love elsewhere)

For you I’m praying

(Don’t look back)

You ain’t staying

 

(I don’t care)

What you’re saying

(Walk right now)

I ain’t playing

(Love elsewhere)

For you I’m praying

(Don’t look back)

What you’re doing to me

 

(I don’t care)

What you’re doing to me

(Walk right now)

What you’re doing to me

(Love elsewhere)

What you’re doing to me

(Don’t look back)

Wooo!

 

No, babe

 

(I don’t care)

(Walk right now)

(Love elsewhere)

(Don’t look back)

(I don’t care)

(Walk right now)

(Love elsewhere)

(Don’t look back)

(I don’t care)
