After waiving, waiving goodbye to me
That's why I walked the back streets and cry
I just can't stay here with you"
To hear my baby say goodbye
He said, "You're a good woman, Etta
Oh, it hurts me, hurts me, hurts me so bad
That's why I walked the back streets, the back street and cry
That why I walked the back streets and cry
You know it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
You know the men started runnin'
You know it hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say
The back streets and cry
Hear my baby say goodbye
Hear my baby say goodbye
And that was too much, too much for me
You know it hurts me so bad
Oh, it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
I stood and watch my baby as far as I could see
He said, "You ain't done nothin' to me
Oh, I said it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
That's why I walked the back streets
Hear my baby say goodbye
Hear my baby say goodbye
Oh yeah
That why I walked the back streets
That was too much, too much for me
To treat me like you do"
That was too much, oh, too much for me
He said another reason that makes me wanna leave
You ain't got enough of nothin' to keep me, keep me [Incomprehensible]
Hear my baby say, hear my baby say goodbye
That's why I walked the back streets and cry
Oh yeah
Oh, to hear my baby
Hear my baby say, so long
Oh, that why I walked the back streets and cry
Hear and say goodbye
And you got to, you got to let me go"
Oh baby, oh, oh, it hurts me so bad
Oh, to hear my baby
