Don't Look Back

About Don't Look Back

"Don't Look Back" is a 1965 song recorded by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label. The flip side to their Top 20 hit "My Baby", "Don't Look Back" broke out and became a hit among the R&B audience on its own, reaching #14 on the R&B charts. Considered one of original lead singer Paul Williams' showcases, "Don't Look Back" was regularly employed as the closing number for Temptations live performances. Although the original flip side, "My Baby", was initially more popular with pop audiences at the time, over the decades, "Don't Look Back" has proven to be the far more popular and enduring tune. It was also performed by the group on The Ed Sullivan Show. There are no known cover versions of "My Baby". The song inspired many cover versions by Al Green, Phil Collins, Bobby Womack, The Persuasions, Teena Marie and Sugababes. In 1978 Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger covered it as a reggae tune as "(You Gotta Walk And) Don't Look Back". In 2008, Belgian singer Dirk De Smet covered it as "Walk and Don't Look Back". more »

If it's love that you're running from, there's no hiding place.
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run, you can't hide)
Love has problems I know but they're problems, we'll just have to face.
Oh yeah, yeah.
If you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on walkin' don't look back. (Don't look back)
And don't look back. (Don't look back)
And don't look back, baby. (Don't look back)
(The past is behind you, let nothing remind you.)

If your first lover broke your heart,
There's something that can be done.
(You don't run, you don't hide, you don't run, you don't hide)
Don't end your faith in love because of what he's done.
So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on walking, don't look back. (don't look back)
Forget about the past now.
Don't look back, baby. (don't look back)
Keep on walking and don't look back. Hmm (don't look back)
(The past is behind you, let nothing remind you)

Love can be such a beautiful thing.
Though your first love let you down.
(You don't run, you don't hide, you don't run, you don't hide)
Oh yeah, yeah
'Cause I know we can make love bloom, baby.
The second time around.
Oh yeah
So if you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
Keep on pushing and don't look back. (Don't look back)
Don't look back, girl. (Don't look back)
Oh no we won't look back. (Don't look back)
Keep on walking and won't look back. (Don't look back)
Keep on walking and won't look back. (Don't look back)
