Walk On By 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
Just let me grieve in private
'Cause each time that I see you, I break down and cry
Walk on by, walk on by, just walk on by

Foolish pride is all that I have left
So let me hide all the tears and all the sadness
That you gave me when you said, "Goodbye"
Walk on by, walk on by
Walk on by, just walk on by

Now you really gotta go so walk on by
Now you really gotta go so walk on by

Baby, leave me, never see the tears I cry
Baby, leave me, never see the tears I cry

Just walk on by
Walk on by

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
