I know just what you’re gonna say
   I know that ever since that day
   You turned away from me and cried so helplessly
   When he passed you by
  
   You know his love for you has gone
   But your love for him still lingers on
   He brought back memories of love that you now miss
   When he passed you by
  
   I fell for your charms
   You surrendered to my arms
   I nearly made you forget everything
   But when he passed you by
   You couldn’t help but cry
   And now I know the pain that love can bring
  
   I know just what you’re gonna say
   I prayed it would not be this way
  
   But in my heart I knew
   That I’d be losing you
   When he passed you by
   When he passed you by
