Song lyrics ; Walk on by

If you see me walkin' 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 Just let me grieve in private 'Cos each time that I see you, I break down and cry Walk on by, walk on by, just walk on by Oh, 'cause I just can't get over losin' you And if I seem broken and blue Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride is all that I have left So let me hide the tears and all the sadness That you gave me when you said, "Goodbye" Walk on by, walk on by Walk on by, just walk on by Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride is all that I have left So let me hide the tears and all the sadness That you gave me when you said, "Goodbye" And walked on by, just walk on by Now you really gotta go so walk on by Now you really gotta go so walk on by Baby, leave me never see the tears I cry Baby, leave me never see the tears I cry Just walk on by Walk on
