Isaac Hayes Walk On By - lyrics

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
So, just let me grieve in private
'Cause each time I see you
I just can't help myself
I [Incomprehensible]
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 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, mamma
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
Said, 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 dust in my eye, oh no

Smokin' makin' 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, mamma, mamma, walk on by
Walk on by
