Walk Away
St. Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every other undercover
Tellin' you what to say
You think I'm stupid
But the truth is
That it's cupid, baby
Lovin' you has made me this way
So before you point your finger
Oh yeah
You need to know this situation's getting old
And now the more you talk
The less I can say, oh
I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away
I waited here for you
Like a kid waiting after school
So tell me how come you never showed?
I gave you everything
And never asked for anything
And look at me
I'm all alone
So, before you start defendin'
Baby, stop all your pretendin'
I know you know I know
So what's the point in being slow?
Let's get the show on the road today
Hey
I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away
I want to love
I want a fire
To feel the burn
My desires
I want a man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me?
Die for me?
Live and breathe for me?
Do you care for me?
'Cause if you don't, then just leave
I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
If you don't have the answer
Walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away
Then just leave
Yeah, yeah
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
In St. Kelly's song "Walk Away," the singer is addressing a person who is indecisive about their relationship. The singer accuses the other person of being manipulated by their family and friends, who are telling them what to say and do. The singer asserts that their love has caused them to be this way, but the situation has become old and frustrating. The singer explains that they are looking for attention and not another question about whether or not they should stay or go. The singer encourages the other person to walk away if they do not have an answer.
The singer then goes on to express their desire for a man, not a boy, by their side. They want someone who will fight for them, die for them, live and breathe for them, and care for them. The singer concludes by repeating the refrain, "Just walk away," emphasizing the need for the other person to make a decision and take action.
The lyrics of "Walk Away" highlight the frustration and emotional pain that can come with indecisiveness and lack of commitment in a relationship. The singer is tired of waiting and wondering, and just wants a clear answer from their partner.

You've got your mother and your brother
You rely too much on your family's input, which is affecting our relationship
Every other undercover
Other people who are not family are influencing our relationship as well
Tellin' you what to say
These external forces are dictating what you should say to me
You think I'm stupid
You doubt my intelligence
But the truth is
In reality
That it's cupid, baby
It's love that makes me behave like this
Lovin' you has made me this way
My love for you is the reason for my actions and emotions
So before you point your finger
Before you place blame on me
Get your hands off of my trigger
Stop provoking me emotionally
Oh yeah
A note of sarcasm
You need to know this situation's getting old
We need to address this issue because it's becoming outdated
And now the more you talk
The more you speak
The less I can say, oh
The less I am able to provide a clear response
I'm looking for attention
I want you to focus on me
Not another question
Instead of asking more questions
Should you stay or should you go?
Whether you want to be with me or not
Well, if you don't have the answer
If you are unsure
Why you still standin' here?
Why are you still with me?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
A musical interlude
Just walk away
End this relationship
Just walk away
End this relationship
Just walk away
End this relationship
I waited here for you
I patiently waited for you
Like a kid waiting after school
Similar to how a child would wait for their parent after school
So tell me how come you never showed?
Why did you not come?
I gave you everything
I provided you with everything I could
And never asked for anything
I did not expect anything in return
And look at me
And yet, here I am
I'm all alone
Feeling lonely and abandoned
So, before you start defendin'
Before you begin to justify your actions
Baby, stop all your pretendin'
Stop pretending everything is fine
I know you know I know
I am aware that you understand the situation
So what's the point in being slow?
Why take your time addressing the issue?
Let's get the show on the road today
Let's take care of this today
I want to love
I want to be in love
I want a fire
I want passion
To feel the burn
To experience intense emotions
My desires
My wants and needs
I want a man by my side
I want a mature, dependable partner
Not a boy who runs and hides
Not someone who is immature or avoids responsibility
Are you gonna fight for me?
Will you stand up for our relationship?
Die for me?
Are you willing to make sacrifices for our relationship?
Live and breathe for me?
Will you prioritize our relationship above all else?
Do you care for me?
Do you genuinely care about me?
'Cause if you don't, then just leave
If you do not have feelings for me, it is better for us to end things
If you don't have the answer
If you do not know what you truly feel
Walk away
End this relationship
Just walk away
End this relationship
Just walk away
End this relationship
Then just leave
Simply end things and go separate ways
Yeah, yeah
An affirmation or agreement
Walk away
End this relationship
Walk away
End this relationship
Walk away
End this relationship

This is literally the most underrated Kelly Clarkson song.
@beverlyreese6390
Best pick me up, f*ck you aholez, I f**king ROCK!, song ever!❤❤✌✌ Plus, I have a serious crush in the guy in the car. And everyone in the video killed it with their moves! 😁😁😂😂✌✌
@anthonyortiz7570
I would say, the undervalued single is Dark Side
@kriskayn2024
@Aabruh that’s only two years before YouTube started. Not enough time to get those extra views, and it wasn’t the kind of site to post music videos anyway. Just for hilariously dumb videos for the most part.
Not to mention that it wasn’t mainstream for most artists to really use YouTube as a promotional tool for videos and singles until 2007 the earliest. Only artists who were desperate to get their music out there would and sometimes, it would work. Even then, MySpace was still the place to promote your music.
This would’ve had at least 20 million more views if those two years made the difference. Kelly’s most successful brand of music is the kind that can still be played over and over again on the radio. It’s why some stations won’t play this track but still play My Life Would Suck Without You 😂😂
@redmigacha
No lie, but in my opinion, her most underrated single (from the 2000s) has got to be Low or every single from My December (except Never Again)
@markcheetah4960
Any song deemed good enough by the record company to issue an official music video for is not underrated.
@marcylash9675
Nearly 20 years later, I still can't stop listening to this! And I'm 60 years old but love to pretend I'm still young!
@LoneLee2022
Age is just a number!
@harryn3690
Turning 44 in a few months. You give me hope Marcy.
