i looked away

Singer:derek and the dominos

she took my hand

and tried to make me understand

that she would always be there

but i looked away

and she ran away from me today

i'm such a lonely man

it came as no surprise to me

that she'd leave me in misery

yeah

it seemed like only yesterday

she made a vow that she'd never walk away

she took my hand

to try to make me understand

that she would always be there

but i looked away

and she ran away from me today

i'm such a lonely man

and if it seemed a sin

to love another man's woman

baby

i guess i'll keep on sinning

loving her

lord

to my very last day

but i looked away

and she ran away from me today

i'm such a lonely man
