Lyrics
Walk out
Girl, don’t you walk out
We’ve got things to say
Talked out, let’s have it talked out
Things will be okay
Girl
I don’t want to fight
I’m a little bit wrong
And you’re a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it’s true
It’s a little bit me, (a little bit me)
It’s a little bit you, too
Don’t know, just what I said wrong
But girl I apologize
Don’t go, here’s where you belong
So wipe the tears from your eyes
Girl
I don’t want to fight
I’m a little bit wrong
You’re a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it’s true
It’s a little bit me
And it’s a little bit you, too
Oh, girl
I don’t want to fight
I’m a little bit wrong
And you’re a little bit right
I said girl
You know that it’s true
It’s a little bit me
And it’s a little bit you, too
It’s a little bit me (ah, a little bit me)
It’s a little bit you (ah, a little bit you)
Girl don’t go (ah, a little bit me)
No, no, no, no, no (ah, a little bit you)
Girl don’t go (ah, a little bit me)
No, no, no, no, no (ah, a little bit you)
Hey girl (ah, a little bit me)
Hey girl (ah, a little bit you)
Please don’t go (ah, a little bit me)
