I'm not crazy like my brother
But it's the way that I choose
I don't hang around with a six pence
When I got everything to lose

Would you bring me my money
And take from me all that I was worth
'Cause I wasn't worth nothing
And I wasn't yours

Oh, don't you be a passerby
Oh won't you sit down
And stay awhile
Oh, don't you be a passerby
Oh won't you sit down
And stay awhile
'Cause it's been too long since you been around
Since you've been around

Sold out man from across the way
He thought he heard what he heard you say
Hey now, man your watch it shines
For the bid of a second yields him 40 times

Oh, don't you be a passerby
Oh, won't you sit down
And stay a while
Oh, don't you be a passerby
Oh, won't you sit down
And stay a while
'Cause it's been too long since you been around
Don't wanna be high, high, high, high

Woman and little child
Woman and little child
Woman and little child, yeah
Woman and little child
Woman, yeah woman
Woman, little child
Woman, yeah woman
Woman, yeah woman
Don't you be a passerby
(whoa don't you be a) Passerby
(whoa don't you be a) Passerby
Whoa don't you leave me alone
Passerby
(whoa don't you be a) Passerby
(whoa don't you be a) Passerby
Whoa, don't you leave me alone
