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...
