WALK AWAY CLEAN
Lani Ford © 2011

 
Boy, you didn’t lead me on
But you sure leaned on me
I take all the punishment
While you walk away clean
Don’t act so damn innocent
And I won’t be so mean
While you feign embarrassment
As you walk away clean
I’m sorry you’re uncomfortable
With my forthright spleen
I put my marbles on the table
You walk away clean

 
You get kittens
I get bitten
You get rainbows
I get low blows
I hope my glare
Burns you through
As you go there
And I come to
 
I never meant to lead you on
But I was caught between
The precipice that cut you off
While I walk away clean
I will not let you win this war
While you try to demean
Everything you said before
So I walk away clean
 
I’ll get kittens
You'll get bitten
I’ll get rainbows
You'll get low blows
I hope my glare
Burns you through
As you go there
And I come to
 
Now we’re at the last verse
And I cannot glean
How I got here from the first
But I walk away clean
I walk away clean
Watch me walk away clean
Clean as a whistle now
Clean as a whistle
Where is my whistle now
Where is my whistle
