Isaac Hayes: Walk On By [Live at Music Scene, 1969]

Isaac Hayes performing Burt Bucharach's & Hal David's "Walk On By" (Single Version) Live, at Music Scene 1969. A Dionne Warwick Cover. Below are the lyrics of the full version as it appears on "Hot Buttered Soul (1969)"

If you see me walkin' down the street
And I start to cry, each time we meet
Then walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears
You just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I just can't help myself
I think about how tight we used to be
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
I didn't asked you for it
But you gave me
When you said goodbye
Oh mama, walk on by
Make believe you never see the tears I cry
So do me a favor and walk on by
Please oh, walk on by

Mmm
I just can't get over losing you
So if I seem broken in two
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 me
You socked it to me, momma
When you said goodbye
So please, walk on by
Oh momma
Make believe you never see the tears I cry
So I beggin' you to walk on by
Make believe you never see the tears I cry
So I beggin' you, I 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, smokin' ain't makin' me cry, no, no, no
It's the hurt, you put on me, yeah
I don't want you, see this man cry
So please, walk on by
Oh momma, momma, momma, walk on by

My granny is 109 and she said to me that we all have a right to live and be happy. I agree with her. if I see a black brother or a gay brother being discriminated against it should offend me.
