Walk On By (Single Version)

If you see me walking down the street

And I start to cry each time we meet

Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe that you don't see the tears

Oh just let me grieve

In private 'cause each time I see you

I break down and cry

Oh baby, walk on by



Mmm

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

The tears and the sadness you gave me

You put the hurt on

You socked it to me, momma

When you said goodbye

So please walk on by

Make believe you never see the tears I cry

So do me a favor and walk on by

So I'm beggin' you to walk on by



Oh yeah

Make believe you never see the tears I cry

So I'm beggin' you, I'm beggin' you to walk on by

Make believe you never see the tears I cry

Oh, there's no dirt in my eye

Oh no

Smoking don't you me cry no no no (?)

It's the hurt you put on me, yeah

I don't want you to see this man cry

So please walk on by

Oh mother, mother, walk on by
