Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
They say you “make the world go ’round”
They say you “conquer all”
Love, won’t you please stop conquering me?
Tae someone your size, I’m small
Too small to fight against the odds
Too tired to chase romance
Knowing I need one man alone
And knowing I have no chance
Refrain:
Love, look away
Love, look away from me
Fly, when you pass my door
Fly and get lost at sea
Call it a day
Love, let us say we’re through
No good are you for me
No good am I for you
Wanting you so, I try too much
After you go, I cry too much
Love, look away
Lonely though I may be
Leave me and set me free
Look away, look away
Look away from me
