Lyrics

[Verse 1]

People go by, go by and go by

People go by, go by and go by

People go by, go by and go by

People go by, go by and go by

People go by, go by and go by

[Verse 2]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching you, watching me)

Watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 3]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching you, watching me)

Watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 4]

I can make you happy

Sometimes blue, yeah

Feel the need, mister

Feel the things that I feel for you

True, true

[Verse 5]

Life has no rules, it's a face in a changing world

If you win, there's a price that you must pay

[Verse 6]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching you, watching me)

Watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 7]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching me, watching you)

Watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 8]

People from far and wide

Brought together as a nation to rise

We've all got to analyze

Situations that need no disguise

[Verse 9]

Lend your hand to understand

Spreading joy and love throughout the land

Lend a hand, mister

Won't you, won't you understand?

[Verse 10]

Gotta make it right, mister

Together and hold it very tight now

Gotta make it right

Together, make it tight

[Verse 11]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching you, watching me)

Watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 12]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching you, watching me)

Watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 13]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching me, watching you)

Watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 14]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching you, watching me)

Watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 15]

It's time we make a stand

To be happy to live on this land

When all this seems so blue

Happy people on the street

Watching me, watching you

Watching me, watching you

Watching me, watching you, mister

[Verse 16]

In most everything we do

Feel the need to do the things

That make life for you

[Verse 17]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

[Verse 18]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching you, watching me)

Watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 19]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching me, watching you)

Watching you

(Watching you, watching you)

[Verse 20]

Gonna make it right

(Walking down the street, watching people go by)

Hold it together tight

Watching you, watching me, watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 21]

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching me, watching you)

Watching you

(Watching me, watching you)

Walking down the street, watching people go by

(Watching you, watching me)

Watching you
