If  you see me walking down the streets
 And I  start to cry each  time we meet
 Walk on by
 Oh, walk on  by and make  believe
 That  I can see the tears that let  me grieve
 In private  'cos each time I see  you
 I just wanna cry
 Walk on by,  walk on by,  walk on by
I  just can't get over losing you
 And so  if I seem  so broken  in pieces
 Walk on by
 Oh, walk on  by and foolish  pride
 If  I can see the tears then let  me hide
 All the tears  and the sadness you gave  me
 When you said goodbye
 Walk on by,  walk on by,  walk on by
 Let's go for a stroll  in the trees!
Walk  on by
 Oh, walk on  by and make  believe
 That  I can see the tears that let  me grieve
 In private  'cos each time I see  you
 I just wanna cry
 Walk on by,  walk on by...
 You really gotta  go, You  really gotta go  - oh!
