I don't think the Left Banke version did anything in the UK. I don't remember that at all.

Here are the Four Tops lyrics. They simply do not scan the same.


The Four Tops WALK AWAY, RENEE Lyrics:

And when I see the sign that points one way.
The lot we used to pass by every day.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same.
You're not to blame.

From deep inside the tears I'm forced to cry.
From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes,
For me, it cries.

[Instrumental break featuring flute solo.]

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes,
For me, it cries.

Your name and mine inside a heart on a wall,
Still finds a way to haunt me though they are so small.

Just walk away, Renee.
You won't see me follow you back home.
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same.
You're not to blame.
