Walk On By (Leroy Van Dyke song)

A two-timing man has begun a new relationship but never fully cut off the previous one. While the old girlfriend is aware of his new flame, the new one does not know about it, and he intends to keep it that way by not acknowledging his old girlfriend in public. He advises the old girlfriend to treat him as a stranger—“just walk on by, wait on the corner—” and that he will continue meeting with her in back alleys and on the telephone.[4]
