Kelly Clarkson – Walk Away (Official Music Video)

“Walk Away” is a song by American singer and songwriter Kelly Clarkson, taken from her second studio album, Breakaway (2004). It was written by Clarkson, Kara DioGuardi, Raine Maida and Chantal Kreviazuk and produced by the latter three. The song talks about a relationship that is not working out and she wants a guy who will support her, not disappear when she needs him the most. It is a prominent pop rock song.

It was released as the album’s fifth and final single. The song received generally positive reviews from most music critics, who praised the song for being “an anthemic and classic pop-rock song” and commended Clarkson‘s attitude on the song. In March 2006, the single was certified gold by RIAA and has sold over 500,000 copies in all formats in the United States. As of February 2010, “Walk Away” has sold over 1.1 million digital copies in the U.S.

A music video for the song was directed by Joseph Kahn, while Kelly wrote the treatment for the video. It was described as a fun video and it features many people singing the song in many places, while the video also shows Clarkson performing with her band. Clarkson performed the song on the Breakaway World Tour, My December Tour, 2 Worlds 2 Voices Tour, All I Ever Wanted Tour and in a medley on her most recent tour, the Stronger Tour.

“Walk Away” By Kelly Clarkson – Lyrics

You’ve got your mother and your brother
Every other, undercover, telling you what to say (say)
You think I’m stupid
But the truth is, that it’s Cupid, baby
Loving you has made me this way (way)

So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger, oh yeah
You need to know this situations getting old
And now the more you talk, the less I can say

I’m looking for attention,
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don’t have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away (just walk away, just walk away)

I waited here for you like a kid waiting after school
So tell me, how come you never showed (showed)
I gave you everything and never asked for anything
And look at me, I’m all alone (alone)
So before you start defending, baby
Stop all your pretending

I know you know I know
So what’s the point in being slow
Let’s get this show on the road today, hey

I’m looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don’t have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away (just walk away, just walk away)

I want a love, I want a fire
To feel the burn, my desires
I want a man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me
Die for me
Live and breathe for me
Do you care for me
Cause if you don’t then just leave

I’m looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don’t have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away

If you don’t have the answer
Just walk away
Just leave
Walk away, walk away
