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

Sure just let me grieve in private

'Cause each time I see you,

I just can't help myself I think about how tight we used to be

I break down and cry, oh baby

Walk on by I just can't get over losing you

So if I seem broken in two

Please walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride

That's all that I have left

So let me hide

The tears and the sadness you gave me

You put the hurt on me, you socked it to me mama

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 by

So I'm beggin' ya to walk on by, oh yeah

Make believe you never see the tears I cry

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

Make believe you never see the tears I cry

Oh there's no dust in my eye, oh no

Smoke ain't makin' me cry, no no no

It's the hurt you put on me, yeah

I don't wantcha to see this man cry

So please walk on by, ah no no walk on by, walk on by
