Bryson, Peabo - Love Walked Out On Me Lyrics






The look that's on your face
Time could not erase
My friends keep telling me
That everything would be alright, alright

Well, I don't know if, if it can
It's hard for me
Won't you try to understand now

Giving love is so hard to do
When the one you love doesn't really love you
A warm embrace, a smiling face
It's only make-believe, only in your mind

You're out of touch with reality
Lost in the world without a dream
I did it all for love
And love walked out on me, on me

You wish upon a star
That love won't break your heart
But you know in your mind
That love is never kind to lie, oh...

Well, I don't know who I am
I tried as hard as any man can, I know
I don't know, I don't even know who I am
Won't you try, try to understand now

Giving love is so hard to do
When the one you love doesn't really love you
It's just a warm embrace, a smiling face
Only make-believe, only in your mind

You're out of touch with reality
Lost in the world without a dream
I did it all for love
And love walked out on me, yeah, yeah

If there's someone, somewhere
That can be a witness
To what I'm singin' about
Don't be ashamed
From right there where you are
Wherever you may be
I want you t just

Just say this with me

Say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah, whoa... (yeah)
Say yeah, mmm (yeah)
Say yeah, mmm
Say yeah (yeah)
Hear you say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah, whoa... (yeah)
Say yeah, oh...

(I've been down before)
(I've been down before)
Whoa-oh-oh...
I've been down before, say again
Say yeah, I've been down before
Just a little louder
Say yeah, mmm, I've been down before...

    Epic tune of the highest order :)

  26. r.... ....

    First of all, this man can sing! But, what I want to talk about here is something that is no longer found in much of today's recorded music. I'm talking about orchestration. The blending together of various instruments, vocalists, and the music, itself. This song, in my opinion, is one of the most beautifully orchestrated piece of music, ever recorded. Just take-in the blending of Peabo's lead-vocals, with the background singers. Then, add in the instrumentation, as it glides through the piece.

    r.... ....

    So TRUE!!

  27. a.... ....

    "But I don't know who I am!" love the passionate way he expresses that line. And in all his work. Best balladeer ever.

  28. S.... D....

    <3 Thanks uploading this one. I've always loved his music. He delivers a ballad like no one else.

  29. h.... ....

    You are more than welcome

  30. g.... ....

    You gotta be a hardcore Peabo fan to know this one. One of the most underrated singers of the 20th Century. It kills me to hear him singing Disney songs with Celine Dion...when the brother writes stuff like THIS! Thanks, 'hsp100' for this!

    g.... ....

    gailt1956 I'm a hardcore fan. I have this album and played it too death.

  31. C.... K....

    Awesome!!!! One for the brothers!

  32. k.... l....

    ilike thissong peabo bryson lovewalked out on me in1978 and from the album reaching for the sky in 1978 sign kevin lane

  33. a.... ....

    Man, Peabo's music and messages are simply timeless....

  34. A.... B....

    Awesome!!!!

  35. O.... O....

    hell of intro!!

  36. z.... ....

    I've always love jazzy bluesy essence of Peabo.

  37. K.... Y....

    I would almost say this is one of the most meaning for song I have every heard in life. It was great when I was a teenager and even better now...so glad I found it.

  38. K.... ....

    LIKE simply isn't a strong enough sentiment when it comes to this song. Wow...What a STRONG and beautiful song. This is probably the first song I ever heard by Peabo Bryson and I still say it's his best. By the end of the song, every time I hear it, I'm ready to stand up and testify, all over again, yeah "I BEEN THERE BEFORE", They just don't make music like this anymore. THANK YOU PEABO for this wonderful ballad.

  39. r.... ....

    Have always (and will continue to be) a big-fan of Peabo's work. But, what I like most, from this particular recording, is the absolutely fantastic instrumentation, in the background. Being a former studio musician, myself, this music is just pure magic. Listen to the chord phrasings, and the strings. Beautiful.

  40. z.... ....

    I've loved Peabo since Just Another Day was first played. I think I played the grooves out of this LP too! He was one of the most slept on brothers. Sad to say that Disney came along to make him better known! The passion in his voice is unmatched!

  41. A.... D....

    @ssbbw00 Peabo is a great singer! He's alive and well in Atlanta. I'm his #1 fan. His voice is simply beautiful.

  42. M.... ....

    @mdexrecordings I agree that this is a stellar recording... His BEST work, in my opinion. I love EVERY cut on this album.

    As for Capitol... When it came to BLACK music, they did QUALITY R&B a major disservice...

  43. p.... ....

    That tall glass of water after a long day in the sun!

  44. S.... ....

    love the peabo bryson hits but this album-cut is my very favorite peabo song. such emotion in that voice, such a fine arrangement, lyrics and background voices!! Thanks for posting this one

  45. S.... B....

    very nice song pebo was a great singer

  46. s.... t....

    This is music.........Ô¿Ô.......why arent there anymore ballads like this..........This was typical of 1978 .......sung well and written well

  47. m.... ....

    still get chills listening to this song and about 4 other songs on the album. used to get the same chills back in 1978.
