walk on by lyrics

Now I know that you think that I'm miserable,
But you have to understand,
There's a hole in my soul, it's considerable,
And I need a helping hand,
There were times when I said,
I've been waiting for someone like you,
(Someone just like you)
If I see you again,
Well there's one thing that I'm gonna do,

Walk on by,
I changed my mind,
I take myself to another time,
Because my home is not my own,
And it is just like I've never known you,

When they say we're alike in a million ways,
Well I say I'm not so sure,
(Say I'm not so sure)
Because when you're away it's a holiday,
As opposed to being a war,

Do you cry to yourself?
Do you almost lose your mind?
Are you seeing someone else?
Well those people are so hard to find,

Walk on by,
I changed my mind,
I take myself to another time,
Because my home is not my own,
And it is just like I've never known you,

I said ooh, ooh, can't you see,
I need a helping hand,
I said it's true, it's cruel,
I won't come into land,

Do you cry to yourself?
Do you almost lose your mind?
Are you seeing someone else?
Hope he's the understanding kind,

Don't you know when you go,
Got to get back where you're supposed to go,
Don't you know when you go,
Got to get back where you're supposed to go,

I said ooh, can't you see, (can't you see)
I said ooh, won't you believe, (won't you believe)
I said ooh, ooh, ooh...
