Walk Away Renee - The Four Tops

The Four Tops had a hit with this in 1968, with Levi Stubbs on lead vocals. Composed by The Left Banke's then 16-year-old keyboard player Michael Brown (real name Michael Lookofsky) and Tony Sansone.

And when I see the sign that points one way.
The lot we used to pass by every day.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same.
You're not to blame.

From deep inside the tears I'm forced to cry.
From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes.
For me it cries.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes.
For me, it cries.

Your name and mine inside a heart on a wall,
Still finds a way to haunt me though they are so small.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same.
You're not to blame.
