[English]

Going back to the corner

Where I first saw you

Gonna camp in my sleeping bag

I'm not gonna move

Got some words on cardboard

Got your picture in my hand

Saying "If you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?"

Some try to hand me money

They don't understand

I'm not broke

I'm just a broken-hearted man

I know it makes no sense

What else can I do?

How can I move on, when I'm still in love with you?

Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me

And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be

Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet

And you'll see me waiting for you, on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving

I'm not moving

Policeman says "Son, you can't stay here"

I say, "There's someone I'm waiting for, if it's a day, a month, a year"

Gotta stand my ground

Even if it rains or snows

If she changes her mind

This is the first place she will go

Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me

And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be

Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet

And you'll see me waiting for you, on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving

I'm not moving,

I’m not moving,

I’m not moving

People talk about the guy

Who's waiting on a girl, oh

There are no holes in his shoes

But a big hole in his world

Maybe I'll get famous

As the man who can't be moved

And maybe you won't mean to

But you'll see me on the news

And you'll come running to the corner

Cause you know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved

I’m the man who can't be moved

Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me ( find you're missing me)

And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be (oh where on Earth I could be)

Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet (to the place that we'd meet oh)

And you'll see me waiting for you, on the corner of the street (on the corner of the street)

Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me (So I'm not moving)

And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be (I'm not moving)

Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet (I'm not moving)

And you'll see me waiting for you, on the corner of the street (I'm not moving)

Going back to the corner

Where I first saw you

Gonna camp in my sleeping bag

I'm not gonna move
