Lyrics
Just Walk On By
How long?s it been now
Not that I really want to show
What you already know
I?ll be waiting
Even though you think
I?m just a fool who couldn?t play it cool
Chorus:
Cause when I see you
I can?t smile, I?ll tell you why
The pain in me would hurt the world
So I walk on by?
Don?t get lonely, just sometimes
I will think of you
Wondering what you do
I know it?s over
Just my head can?t tell my heart it?s through
Can?t stop loving you
Repeat Chorus (2x)
Cause when I see you
I can?t smile, I?ll tell you why
The pain in me would hurt the world
So I walk on by?
Just walk on By
