Found myself in a strange part of town
Heavy heart and the rain coming down
Empty cafe and nobody around
An d I saw you looking back
All I asked for was a table for one
Saw my face and it told me there were none
So I walked away but I didn't run
And I won't be looking back
There's a welcoming sign at the door
But your words were so hard to ignore
Yeah, this black girl's had
that welcome before
You won't see me looking back
Sometimes you gotta keep walking,
even though you're down and it hurts
You know you gotta keep mov ing,
cause you know how much you're worth
And I, I won't be looking back
And I, I won't be looking back
You can call me any name, I don't mind
You can use any curse that you can find
I'll still leave you standing so far behind
And I won't be looking back
Oh, this is bigger than you,
you and me, yes
There's no stopping
what's just got to be
So many hearts already open and free
And we won't be looking back,
no
Sometimes you gotta keep walking,
even though you're down and it hurts
You know you gotta keep mov ing,
cause you know how much you're worth
And I, I won't be looking back
And I, I won't be looking back
Found myself in a strange part of town
Heavy heart and the rain coming down
Makes me laugh when
I think of it now
Cause I won't be looking back
No, I won't be looking back
