Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She plays castanets, she works without a net
I like her better when she walks away
She said she was mine, she told me twice
I like her better when she walks away, yeah
[Chorus]
I like her better when she walks away, uh-huh
I like her better when she didn't stay, yeah
Like her better when she danced my way, come on
I like her better when she walks away, come on
[Instrumental]
I love the sun when it silhouettes
I like her better when she walks away
I love her hair fallin' across my face
I like her better when she walks away, yeah
[Chorus]
I like her better when she walks away, uh-huh
I like her better when she didn't stay, yeah
Like her better when she danced my way, come on
I like her better when she walks away, come on
[Instrumental]
She plays castanets, she works without a net
I like her better when she walks away
She turns me on like a pickup truck
I like her better when she walks away
I love the sun shinin' through her dress
I like her better when she walks away
I love her hair in a tangled mess
I like her better when she walks away, yeah
[Chorus]
I like her better when she walks away, uh-huh
I like her better when she didn't stay, yeah
Like her better when she danced my way, come on
I like her better when she walks away, come on
