Lyrics

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 Oh just let me grieve In private cause each time I see you I break down and cry Oh baby, walk on by Mmm 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, momma 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 So 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 Smoke ain't making me cry, nah nah nah 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 mother, mother, walk on by
