I Won’t Be Looking Back

[Verse 1]

Felt myself in a strange part of town

Heavy heart and the rain coming down

Empty café and nobody around

And I saw you looking back

All I ask for was a table for one

Saw my face and you told me there were none

So I walked away but I didn't run

And I won't be looking back

There's a welcoming sign at the door

But your words were so hard to ignore

Yes, these black girls had that welcome before

You won't see me looking back

[Chorus]

Sometimes you gotta keep walking

Even though you're down and it hurts

You know you gotta keep moving because you know how much you're worth

And I won't be looking back and I won't be looking back

[Verse 2]

You can call me any name I don’t mind

You can use curse you can find

I'll still leave you standing so far behind

And I won't be looking back

Oh, this is bigger than you, you and me, yes

There's no stopping what's just got to be

So many hearts already open and free

And we won't be looking back no

[Chorus]

Sometimes you gotta keep walking

Even though you're down and it hurts

You know you gotta keep moving because you know how much you're worth

And I won't be looking back and I won't be looking back

And I won't be looking back

Found myself in a strange part of town

Heavy heart and the rain coming down

Makes me laugh when I think of it now

'Cause I won't be looking back

No, I won't be looking back
