Walk On By (Leroy Van Dyke song)
"Walk on By" is a song written by Kendall Hayes and performed by American country music artist Leroy Van Dyke. It was released in June 1961 as the first single and title track from the album Walk On By. The song was Van Dyke's most successful single, spending 37 weeks on the country chart and a record-breaking 19 at the number-one position. "Walk on By" crossed over to the pop chart peaking at number five, and was named by Billboard magazine as the biggest country music record in history.
The 19-week run of "Walk On By" is a record that stood for 51 years until "Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line reached its 19th week at No. 1 on July 20, 2013; the following week, "Cruise" surpassed the standard when it recorded its 20th week at No. 1. Until Florida Georgia Line surpassed it in total weeks at No. 1, "Walk On By" held the record for most weeks at No. 1 since the introduction of the all-encompassing Hot Country Songs (then called Hot C&W Sides) chart in October 1958; the all-time record for most weeks at No. 1 (21 weeks) is held jointly by three songs: "I'll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms)" by Eddy Arnold (1947); "I'm Movin' On" by Hank Snow (1950); and "In the Jailhouse Now" by Webb Pierce (1955).

Hello?
I can't do this no more, I know about her,
And I can't keep pretending like I don't know,
You know what I'm talkin about...
[Singing:]
Listen baby, it's getting kinda crazy
I been goin on and on with you boy
I just can't accept this, you're making me regret this
I know about your spare
Shouldn't even care
You must think I'm stupid I, can't believe it
I feel so foolish I, should've cheated,
But two wrongs don't make a right
We ain't gotta fight, so I'm a make it easy for you...
I'm done...
I can't take no more
Make it work
I'm so gone,
I'm done...
Want to be with her,
One on you
I'm so thru,
I'm going on and on and on 1
Going on and on and on 1
Going on and on and on 1
Going on and on and on 1
[Rap 1:]
Remember we was on and on late night on the phone
Fall asleep with my ear on the tone
Layin in my bed with your t-shirt on
Ooh how I love that Gucci cologne (mhmm)
When I found that pic of you
It wasn't us it was her and you
Do what you do, I'm sayin I'm thru
I never wanna hear another word from you
I'm on 1, back to square one,
We used to chill, you let me get blunted,
Let me hold hundreds, and kept the love coming,
Now I see chicks with ya name on their stomach (name on their stomach)
But I'm trippin right?
Ain't over here just tryna pick a fight
Make like lupe, kick push tonight
It ain't gon work but get ya shit right.
I'm done...
I can't take no more (can't take no more...)
Make it work
I'm so gone,
I'm done... (this time...)
All your love (is goodbye...)
I'm going on and on and on 1 (oohh...)
Going on and on and on 1 (on and on and on 1)
Going on and on and on 1
Going on and on and on 1 (I'm gone)
[Rap 2:]
Look,
I used to love it when we hit it in the tub
I used to love it when you rub it on my butt,
Keep it comin cause I like a thug
We used to get it poppin in the back of the truck
Cheated on you every time I had the chance to,
If you don't know I played you like a fool
When I know you got a spare from the last song
Well didn't nobody stop us so get gone
Yeah that's right, betta kick rocks
Cause a chick like me has a sick watch,
On my wrist watch,
Got you runnin round and round like a tick tock
I got them niggas sprung like I told you so
And after me, there will never be more
So tell them other hoes to fall back
Cause if I wanted to I could have you back
I'm done...
I can't take no more (can't take no more, baby no...)
Make it work
I'm so gone,
I'm done...
Want to be with her, (be with her... ooh...)
One on you
I'm so thru,
I'm going on and on and on 1 (on and on and on 1)
Going on and on and on 1 (on and on and on 1)
Going on and on and on 1 (on and on... on and on...)
Going on and on and on 1
Got me going on and on and on 1 (got me goin on and on, on and on, on and on...)
Going on and on and on 1
Got me going on and on and on 1 (oohh... yeahhh...)
