[Intro]
People go by, go by, they go by
People go by, go by, they go by
People go by, go by, they go by
People go by, go by, they go by
People go by, go by, they go by

[Chorus]
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you)
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 1]
I can make you happy
And sometimes blue, yeah
Feel the need, Mister
Feel the things that I feel for you
True, true
Life has no rules
It's fast in a changing world
If you win there's a price that you must pay

[Chorus]
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you) Oh
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you)

[Verse 2]
People, from far and wide
Brought together as a nation to rise
We've all got to analyze
Situations that need no disguise
Lend your hand to understand
Spreading joy and love throughout the land
Lend a hand, Mister
Won't you, won't you understand?

[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta make it right, Mister
Together and hold it very tight now
Gotta make it right
Together, make it tight

[Chorus]
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you)
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you)
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you)
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you)

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
They go by, they go by, they go by

[Bridge]
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
In most everything we do
Feel the need to do the things
That make life for you

Walking down the street watching people go by
They go by, they go by, they go by
They go by, they go by, they go by

[Chorus]
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
(Watching people going by)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you)
(Watching you watching me)
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you)

[Outro]
(Gonna make it right)
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Hold together tight)
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching me, watching you)
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching me)
Watching you
(Watching you, watching you, watching you watching me)
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching you)
Watching you
(Watching you, watching you)
Walking down the street watching people go by
(Watching you, watching you)
(Mister, we got to make a stand)
Watching you
(Watching you, watching you)
