Walk On By

Susan Ashton


It'll catch your eye 
Drawing you in to stop you cold 
A little shine 
Yea, but all that glitters isn't always gold. 

Chorus: 
Bowing at the feet of temptation, gazing in the windows of whim 
You see the pleasure that has got you standing still 
But there's more to that than meets the eye 
Don't let it hold you there against your will 
Better walk on by, yea, better walk on by. 

It'll do more harm than it does good 
Go while you still can 
'Cause it'll twist your arm 
And have you eating from the palm of its hand. 

And favoring a fatal attraction 
Will take you down a piece at a time 
And giving in will only leave you wanting more 
It'll haunt you 'till the day you die 
Yea, believe me, I've been there before 
Better walk on by, yea, walk on by. 

Focus on the treasure, heaven knows the pleasure 
Waiting for those who wait 
Straighter than an arrow, traveling that narrow road 
Listen to your heartbeat, faith can move your clay feet 
Better to walk on by. 

Chorus: 
Bowing at the feet of temptation, gazing in the windows of whim 
You see the pleasure that has got you standing still 
But there's more to that than meets the eye 
Don't let it hold you there against your will 
Better walk on by, yea, better walk on by...
