"Walk Away Renée" is a song written by Michael Brown, Bob Calilli, and Tony Sansone for the band the Left Banke, released as a single in July 1966. Steve Martin Caro is featured on lead vocals. After its initial release, it spent 13 weeks on the U.S. charts, with a top spot of number 5.

The song features an oboe solo played during the instrumental bridge of the middle portion of the song. Brown got the idea from the flute solo from the Mamas & the Papas song "California Dreamin'" which had been recorded in November 1965 but wasn't a hit and in heavy rotation until early 1966. The arrangement also includes a lush string orchestration, a jangling harpsichord part, and a descending chromatic bass melody. Its production was credited to World United Productions, Inc., but the session was produced by Brown's father, jazz and classical violinist Harry Lookofsky, who also led the string players.

Rolling Stone placed "Walk Away Renée" at number 220 in the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song returned to nationwide charts with cover versions by The Four Tops (1967) and Rick Price (1993).

And when I see the sign that points "One Way "

The one 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 fear that I forced aside

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

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 upon a wall

Still find a way to haunt me, though they're 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

EVEN IF MY HEART WOULD BREAK

I've been around this world

I've been a lot of places

Seen a million faces

In a thousand towns

But when I looked into your eyes

I knew I found Heaven

And I've been wantin' to tell you

I never wanna let you go

It may be winter and heat on

But what I'm feeling is summer in my heart

Is it too familiar to say "I love you"

Would you be suspicious if I asked your name

Tell me, what would it take

to really convince you

that I'm gonna love you

even if my heart would break

I see a better day

I can feel it coming

I can hear it calling

in the winter night

Could you turn this man

into a true believer

when you left your traces

on that moonlit night

It may be winter and heat on

But when I'm with you, with you

It's summer in my heart

Is it too familiar to say "I love you"

Would you be suspicious if I asked your name

Tell me, what would it take

to really convince you

that I'm gonna love you

even if my heart would break

It may be winter and heat on

But when I'm with you, with you

It's always summer in my heart

So let the mountains tumble

Tumble to the sea

Let the rivers overflow

It won't bother me

Let the stars go out tonight

Cuz I can see them in your eyes

And I wanna love you

even if my heart would break

(Even if my heart would break)

Is it too familiar to say "I love you"

Would you be suspicious if I asked your name

Tell me, what would it take

to really convince you

that I'm gonna love you

even if my heart would break

Even if my heart would break

I'm gonna love you

Even if my heart would break

I'm gonna love you

Let the stars go out tonight

Cuz I can see them in your eyes

And I'm gonna love you

even if my heart would break

(Even if my heart would break)

(Even if my heart would break)

(Even if my heart would break)

Yeah, yeah

(Even if my heart would break)

I'm gonna love you

Even if my heaaarrrt would break

(Even if my heart would break)

(Even if my heart would break)

“(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding” is a 1974 song written by English singer/songwriter Nick Lowe and recorded in the best-known version by Elvis Costello.

As I walk on through this wicked world,

Searching for light in the darkness of insanity,

I ask myself, Is all hope lost?

Is there only pain, and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,

There's one thing I wanna know,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?

And as I walked on through troubled times,

My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes,

So where are the strong?,

And who are the trusted?,

And where is the harmony?,

Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?

So where are the strong?,

And who are the trusted?,

And where is the harmony?,

Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?

RUN TO YOU

I know that when you look at me

There's so much that you just don't see

But if you would only take the time

I know in my heart you'd find

Oh a girl that's scared sometimes

Who isn't always strong

Can't you see the hurt in me

I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you

I wanna run to you

Won't ya hold me in your arms

and keep me safe from harm

I wanna run to you

But if I come to you

Tell me will you stay

Or will you run away

Each day, each day I play the role

Of someone always in control

But at night I come home and turn the key

There's nobody there, no one cares for me

Oh woah what's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams

Without someone to share them with

Tell me what does it mean

I wanna run to you

I wanna run to you

Won't ya hold me in your arms

and keep me safe from harm

I wanna run to you

But if I come to you

Tell me will you stay

Or will you run away

Run away, no

I need you here

I need you here to wipe away my tears

To kiss away my fears

No if you only knew how much I wanna run to you

Ya know I wanna run to you

Won't ya hold me in your arms

and keep me safe from harm

I wanna run to you

But if I come to you

Tell me will you stay

Or will you run away
