[Verse 1]
Thirty blocks to Fordham Road
That’s a bad neighborhood
Crack house on the corner
I know I shouldn’t do what it is I could

[Verse 2]
The stone Mary in the garden
She let me know she watching
And she said I better get walking
I better walk away

[Chorus]
I don’t know why it is that I wanna stay
I don’t know what it is that makes me feel this way
But I’m not gonna do what I hear me say
I’m just gonna walk, I’m gonna walk away

[Verse 3]
I catch a dollar in the wind and I
Buy a cup of coffee
There’s a place on Valentine
That still charge ninety cent
I keep on walking in the daytime
And in my eyes, it’s always nighttime
And I like it when it’s me at night
‘Cause that’s when all the stars come out
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]
I don't know why it is that I wanna stay
I don't know what it is that makes me feel this way
But I'm not gonna do what I hear me say, oh
I'm just gonna walk, I'm gonna walk away

[Bridge]
It's the greatest, it's the greatest day
It's the greatest, it's the greatest day, oh

[Outro]
I'm not gonna do what I hear me say
I'm just gonna walk, I'm gonna walk away
