[Verse 1]
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
Just let me grieve
In private ’cause each time I see you

[Chorus]
I break down and cry (Walk, walk on by)
Walk on by (Don't stop, walk on by)
Baby walk on by (Don't stop, walk on by)
Just walk on by (Don’t stop, walk on by)
Walk on by

[Verse 2]
I just can't get over losing you
So if I seem broken in two
Walk on by, baby, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me

When you said goodbye (Walk, walk on by)
Just walk on by

[Instrumental Break]

Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you

[Chorus]
I break down and cry (Walk, walk on by)
Walk on by (Don't stop, walk on by)
Just walk on by

(Don't stop, walk on by) baby don't you stop
Girl you got to walk on by
(Don't stop, walk on by)
Don’t turn around
(Don’t stop, walk on by)
Girl you got to walk on by
(Don't stop, walk on by)
(Don’t stop)
Any time you see me
(Walk on by)
Don't you stop now baby
Girl you got to walk on by
(Walk on by)

When you hear the term “blue-eyed soul”, a nickname for the soulful music that is suprisingly created by a white musician, Bobby Caldwell has to be one of the artists that comes to mind.

Bobby Caldwell is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist best known for his 1978 hit “What You Won’t Do For Love”. Other well-known classics of his include “My Flame” and “Open Your Eyes” which have been sampled in The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Sky’s the Limit” and by J Dilla for Common’s “The Light”, respectively.
