Sybil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walk on, walk, walk, walk on
Wa-wa-walk on, walk on, walk on
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Just let me grieve in private
'Cause each time I see you I break down and cry
Walk on by, walk on by
Walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride, that's all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness
You gave me when you said goodbye
Walk on by, walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by, walk on by
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Walk on by, walk on by
Walk on by
I just can't, I just can't
I-I-I just can't, I just can't
I-I-I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride, that's all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness
You gave me when you said goodbye
Walk on by (walk on, walk on)
Walk on by (walk on, walk, walk, walk on)
Walk on by, walk on by

The song "Walk On By" by Sybil is a cover of the classic Burt Bacharach song first made popular by Dionne Warwick. In Sybil's version, she sings about the pain of seeing someone who has broken her heart and pleading for them to just walk on by without acknowledging her. The repetition of "walk on" reinforces this idea of wanting the other person to leave her alone and not acknowledge her pain.
The lyrics reflect the theme of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a past love. The singer's vulnerability is apparent as she admits to crying every time she sees the person who hurt her. She wishes for privacy in her time of grief, which is indicated by the line, "Make believe that you don't see the tears, just let me grieve in private." She acknowledges her pride as being the reason for hiding her emotions and not allowing herself to be seen as weak in front of her former lover.
The song's message is one of strength in vulnerability, recognizing the need to grieve and move on while also acknowledging the power of love and its ability to break someone's heart.
Line by Line Meaning
Walk on, walk, walk, walk on, walk on by
Keep walking and don't pay attention to me
If you see me walking down the street
In case you spot me on the road
And I start to cry each time we meet
And I can't help but sob when we cross paths
Walk on by, walk on by
Please keep walking as if you didn't even see me
Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just pretend like my tears don't exist
Just let me grieve in private
Allow me to mourn in solitude
'Cause each time I see you I break down and cry
Because every time I see you, I can't help but break down in tears
I just can't get over losing you
I can't move past losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
So, if I appear crushed and sad
Foolish pride, that's all that I have left
All I have left is my silly sense of pride
So let me hide the tears and the sadness
Thus, give me the chance to conceal my tears and sorrow
You gave me when you said goodbye
That you caused when you said farewell
Walk on by (walk on, walk on)
Please just keep walking (walk on, walk on)
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
I just can't, I just can't
I simply can't
I-I-I just can't, I just can't
I-I-I just can't, I just can't
I-I-I just can't get over losing you
I just can't move past losing you
Walk on by, walk on by
Please just keep walking as if I didn't exist
Walk on by
Keep walking away from me
Walk on by, walk on by
Leave me be and continue on with your day

Better that Doja Cat IMO, but then again the music in 89/90 was 10000 times better.

Still playing this over and over again since 89. Such a beautiful rendition. Back when music and artists had soul.
