Songwriter: Ronald White Smokey Robinson

If it's love that you're running from, there is no hiding place
Love has problems but they're problems we'll just have to face

If you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We're gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back

If your first lover let you down, there's something that can be done
Don't lose your faith in love because of what he's done

If you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troublеs behind
We're gonna walk and don't look back
Wе're gonna walk and don't look back

Pleasures behind you
There to remind you

Love can be a beautiful thing, though your first love let you down
Oh, I know [unintelligible] the second time around

And if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We're gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back

Pleasures behind you
There to remind you

Gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna push and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back

Elvis Costello (b. 1954) is an English musician that was a part of the new wave/punk scene who has continued to evolve over the years and remains active, working with a host of collaborators since the late 1970s, including Burt Bacharach, Squeeze, The Pogues, T-Bone Burnette, Paul McCartney, Allen Toussaint, Anne Sofie von Otter, and The Roots.

His primary backing band for much of his career was the Attractions (Steve Nieve, Bruce Thomas, Pete Thomas). After bitter feuding caused bassist Bruce Thomas to permanently leave the band in 1996, former Cracker bassist Davey Faragher joined Nieve and Pete Thomas, with Costello rechristening them The Imposters.
