There's a place that I want to go
And it's only around the corner
The girl that I love

Lives four houses down
But if I go there, I'm a goner


Cause there's a gang
Hanging round the corner
Got a leader that digs her too

Waits for me cause he knows I want her
On the street that I can't go through


When I saw her the other day
As she came walking round the corner
The way that she smiled with

Her doll flashing eyes
Gave the answer I wanted from her


But she lives just around the corner
It's so near, yet so far away
Got to tell her how much I love her

No matter what price I have to pay

So I did what I had to do

And I met him around the corner
I saw a flash from the pain in my chest
And I laid there alone in the gutter


And the girl from around the corner
Held my hand and began to cry

She kissed me once
And she cried no longer
That's the way we said goodbye
