Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd

Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd

But someone picked you from the bunch

One glance was all it took

One look was all it took

Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

Every street you walk on

Every street you walk down

I leave tear stains on the ground

I leave tear stains on the ground

Following the girl

Following the girl

I didn't even want around

Let me tell you now
