Alone upon the sidewalks of despair

'Twas there she wandered

With her suitcase in her hand

Her fate she pondered

Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care

She met him on a night so rare when her friends were there

And the band was groovin'



When he gave a glance that said how much he would like to meet her

How was she to know at the time

He would mistreat her



In her case she danced for him although a hundred eyes were turned her

way

And before the set was through he knew

She would be his loved one



Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care

Only twenty-one, she was a young girl just in from somewhere



He's playin' up in Michigan with a group they call The Intended

With a kiss, and a promise, he was gone

The song was ended



But as she walks, she waits for him the pavement is a shoulder for her

tears

But in her heart she knows there is no way

She can hope to change him



Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care

Only twenty-one, she was a young girl just in from somewhere



Only a go-go girl in love with someone who didn't care

A go-go girl in love
