I Won’t Be Looking Back

[Verse 1]
Felt myself in a strange part of town
Heavy heart and the rain coming down
Empty café and nobody around
And I saw you looking back
All I ask for was a table for one
Saw my face and you told me there were none
So I walked away but I didn't run
And I won't be looking back
There's a welcoming sign at the door
But your words were so hard to ignore
Yes, these black girls had that welcome before
You won't see me looking back

[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta keep walking
Even though you're down and it hurts
You know you gotta keep moving because you know how much you're worth
And I won't be looking back and I won't be looking back

[Verse 2]
You can call me any name I don’t mind
You can use curse you can find
I'll still leave you standing so far behind
And I won't be looking back
Oh, this is bigger than you, you and me, yes
There's no stopping what's just got to be
So many hearts already open and free
And we won't be looking back no

[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta keep walking
Even though you're down and it hurts
You know you gotta keep moving because you know how much you're worth
And I won't be looking back and I won't be looking back
And I won't be looking back

Found myself in a strange part of town
Heavy heart and the rain coming down
Makes me laugh when I think of it now
'Cause I won't be looking back
No, I won't be looking back
