Walk on By Isaac Hayes

[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
