[Verse 1]
Lord, she's handsome as she flows across the floor
Nothing I've seen in my life has ever pleased me more
She's got the look of freedom and it makes you think she's wild
But I can see right through it all, it's her way to have a child

[Chorus]
Oh, walk away
She's looking to love you
There's nothing to say
Just turn your head and walk away
Walk away, walk on

[Verse 2]
She moves in sunlight, never seen the night at all
Like a star in the midnight sky, burns before it falls
I've never been lonely and I can't imagine why
Maybe she could be the one to tell me, I guess it's do or die

[Bridge]
Can't see her fire
But I can feel her heat, all right
It's rising higher
I'm walking the wire!
Walk on by

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, walk away
She's looking to love you
There's nothing to say
Just turn your head and walk away
Oh, walk on by, walk away
Walk on

[Outro]
You'll feel her fire, she'll lift you higher
But don't be fooled, just turn your head and walk away

Black Sabbath

From their start as a heavy blues-rock band called Earth in 1968, Black Sabbath survived over four decades with a total of 19 studio albums and numerous hits, but only “Paranoid” reached the top 10 UK Singles Chart, putting together one of the greatest rock bands of all time and setting the standards for music in their genre.

Virtually every single heavy metal band has cited the early Black Sabbath albums as a major musical influence and Black Sabbath have at least played some part in laying the foundations for most of heavy metal’s sub-genres, including thrash metal (“Symptom of the Universe” and “Into the Void”), doom metal (“Black Sabbath”) and stoner metal (“Sweet Leaf”). The band also explored many rock sub-genres, including hard rock (“Paranoid”), blues rock (“N.I.B.”), psychedelic rock (“Planet Caravan”) and, of course, the traditional heavy metal, being one of the precursors of this genre.

They were ranked by MTV as the “Greatest Metal Band” of all time and placed second in VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock” list. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them number 85 in their “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” They have sold over 70 million records worldwide. Black Sabbath were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. They have also won two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance.
