Ain't a girl alive with the suffering I feel inside
 Mine's not a peppering fool
 & when you go with me you play by my rules
 If that's the way she wants to play, then I'll forget her
 She's thinkin' how she'll beat me to the punch, but I won't let her

 CHORUS:
 Shake hands & walk away (& look at him cryin')
 Come on, come on, come on, come on
 I'm gonna shake hands & walk away (& look at him cryin')
 Come on, come on, come on, come on now

 I'll never say to you, breakin' up is hard to do
 'Cause I've got my pride; a big man never cries
 There's much of life in you, & you'd better run too
 Knowing it's our last goodbye, it's hard to face you
 Don't expect me back for more, I'll just erase you

 (chorus)
 (instrumental)
 (chorus)

 Shake hands & walk away (ring of echo chamber)
 There's much of life in you, & you'd better run too

 (repeat chorus & fade
