Walk On By (Radio Hour Version)

The Childhood part of my life wasn't pretty
I grew up on the dark side of the city
No, no nice stores, the people walk on by
Way too much crime
I used to live in a shack out with my mother
Yes she used to work so hard and harder
Woah and there ain't no going out at evenings
Turning 'round baby

But out here on the dark side of the city
I've seen a lot of girls but I know they won't fit me
Oh, oh baby
It payed off just to see you walk on by
To see you walk on by
Just to see you walk on by

You showed up and you turned my life around
Never really thought that I would be found
I know I used to be
A struggling man
Oh I used to do no good
Yeah
Every time that you stepped into the room
You make my mind race and my heart go boom
My life is in your hands so treat it like it's handsome
Treat it like it's yours

Woah yeah

Out here on the dark side of the city
I've seen a lot of girls but I know they won't fit me
Oh oh baby it payed off, just to see you walk on by
Out here on the dark side of the city
There ain't no walking lady leaving that pretty
Oh oh baby it did pay off, just to see you walk on by
Just to see you walk on by
Just to see you walk on by

I first shook my head in disbelief
Just could not see it was true
I bow my head in thankfulness
I fell down on my knees

Out here on the dark side of the city
I've seen a lot of girls but I know they won't fit me
Yeah, yeah baby
It payed off, just to see you walk on by
To see you walk on

Out here on the dark side of the city
There ain't no walking lady leaving that pretty
Yeah, oh oh baby
It paid off just to see you walk on by
To see you walk on by
Out here on the dark side of the city
Woah
Yeah
Love to see you walk on by
Out here on the dark side of the city
