Walk on by
The house where you still live
Walk on by
The place where we would kiss
[Hook]
And the room where I held you tight
Tonight, I must walk on by
[Verse 2]
Yeah, walk on by
The room where you still sleep
Walk on by
The company that you keep
[Hook]
And the room where I held you tight
Tonight, I must walk on by
[Bridge]
Yeah, somehow I know, woah
I won't forget you, no, no, no, no, no, I won't
You won't forget me, no, no, no, no, no, you won't
I'll keep on walking away from here
I'll forget you when I reach the other side
[Verse 1]
Woah, walk on by
The house where you still live
Walk on by
The place where we would kiss
[Hook]
And the room where I held you tight
Tonight, I must walk on by

Alright, alright
Hey! Ho! Ho!
Woah!
Ho! Oh, ho!
Alright, ah no, ah no!)
[Hook]
And the room where I held you tight
Tonight, I must walk on by
