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".

If it's love that you're running from
There is no hiding place
Just your problems, no one else's problems
Could just have to face

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

Now if your first love has let you down
There's something can be done
Don't you have your faith in love
Remembering what been gone

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

Places behind you
There to remind you
If your first love have broke your heart
There's something can be done
Don't have your faith in love
Remembering what's been gone

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