Walk on By

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] If you see me walking down the street And I start to cry each time we meet Then walk on by, walk on by Make believe that you don't see the tears (That you don't see the tears, let me grieve) So just let me grieve (In private, 'cause each time I see you) In private, 'cause each time I see you I just can't help myself (I can't help it) I think about how tight we used to be (Just break down and cry) I break down and cry Oh, baby, walk on by (Walk on) Hmm [Verse 2] I just can't get over losing you So if I seem broken in two Please walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride (Is all that I have left, so let me hide) That's all that I have left, so let me hide (The tears and the sadness you gave me) The tears and the sadness you gave me I didn't ask for it (When you said it) But you gave me When you said goodbye Oh, mama, walk on by (Walk on) Make believe you never see the tears I cry (Walk on) So, do me a favor, and walk on by (Walk on) Please, oh, walk on by [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] Hmm I just can't get over losing you (Walk on by) So if I seem broken in two (Walk on by, walk) Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride (Is all that I have left, so let me hide) That's all that I have left, so let me hide (The tears and the sadness you gave me) The tears and the sadness you gave me You put the hurt on me (When you said it) You socked it to me, mama When you said goodbye So please, walk on by (Walk on) Oh, mama, make believe you never see the tears I cry (Walk on by, walk) So I'm beggin' you to walk on by, oh yeah (Walk on by, walk) Make believe you never see the tears I cry (Walk on by, walk) So I'm beggin' you, I'm beggin' you to walk on by (Walk on by, walk) Make believe you never see the tears I cry (Walk on by, walk) Oh, there's no dust in my eyes, oh no (Walk on by) Smoke ain't making me cry, nah nah nah (Walk on by) It's the hurt you put on me, yeah (Walk on by) I don't want you to see this man cry (Walk on by) So please, walk on by, oh, mama, mama (Walk on by) [Instrumental Chorus]
