Remarks:
Shannon was our poster child for the 1980s. For the 1990s it is CeCe Peniston. They overplayed this song back then but it has held up remarkably well – it still sounds great 21 years later. It went to #3 on the American R&B charts in 1992.
Other songs on this blog from 1992:
- Sade: No Ordinary Love
- Sade: Feel No Pain
- 2 Unlimited: Twilight Zone
- A Tribe Called Quest ft Leaders of the New School: Scenario
- Miki Howard: Ain’t Nobody Like You
- 10,000 Maniacs: These Are Days
Lyrics:
You can just… walk on
You can just go, walk on, keep on
You just go, walk on, keep on
Sittin’, waitin’, anticipatin’,
Waitin’ for your call
Tossin’, turnin’, my heart’s burnin’
From the things I saw
I’m sorry baby,
You can’t play me,
I just cant be used
I’m so fed up,
Time to get up,
Baby we are through
I though that what we had would never end
But now it’s too late for my heart to mend
And although what we had was good
I’ve got to make this understood
Keep on walkin’,
I ain’t talkin to ya anymore
You can just go on
Keep on walkin’
Keep on walkin’,
I ain’t talkin to ya anymore
You can just go on
You can just go on
Keep on walkin’,
Keep on walkin’
Go on baby
Go on go on baby yeah
You, you can just…
Walk on You,
You can just… keep on
Sittin’, waitin’, anticipatin’,
Waitin’ for your call
Tossin’, turnin’, my heart’s burnin’
From the things I saw
I think you’re crazy to try
To play me for a foolish girl
You’ll soon discover
You’re not the only lover in this world
I though that what we had would never end
But now it’s too late for my heart to mend
And although what we had was good
I’ve got to make this understood
Keep on walkin’,
I ain’t talkin’ to ya anymore
Go on
Keep on walkin’
You can just go,
Walk on, keep on
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
You can just go
Ooh ooh ooh
You can just go,
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

I still love her song “Finally”. I also still like Rupaul’s song “Supermodel”. Hangs head in shame and slowly backs out of the room.
