If it's love that you're running from
There's no hiding place
(You can't run it, you can't hide it, you can't run it)
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
We're gonna walk and don't look back
(Don't look back)
And don't look back, oh yeah yeah
And don't look back baby
(Don't look back)
(The places behind you, let them remind you)

If your first lover broke your heart
There's something that can be done
(You don't run it, you don't hide it, you don't run it)
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 and 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 (don't look back)
(The places behind you, let them remind you)

Love can be a beautiful thing
Though your first love let you down
Oh yeah, yeah
'Cause I know we can make love bloom, baby
The second time around
Oh yeah, 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
Now, till I say, we won't look back, girl
Keep on walking and won't look back
Forget about the past now, baby
And don't look back
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, don't look back
