On My Corner - Rob Money

Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Brother you don't know a nicer occupation Matter of fact, neither do I Than standing on a corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by I'm the cat that got the cream Haven't got a girl but I can dream Haven't got a girl but I can wish So I'll take me down to Main street And that's where I select my imaginary dear Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by Standing on a corner giving all the girls the eye Brother, if you've got a rich imagination Give it a whirl, give it a try Try standing on a corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by... Brother, you can't go to jail for what you're thinking Or for that wooed look in your eye Standing on the corner watching all the girls Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by...

My days have grown so lonely For you I cried, for you dear only Why haven't you seen it I'm all for you, body and soul I spend my days in longing I wonder why it's me you're wronging I gladly surrender Myself to you, body and soul One more chance My life a wreck you're making You know I'm yours Yours for the taking Why haven't you seen me I'm all for you, body and soul My body and soul (Brother) (Brother)

She can't make him see Oh, what he really needs He's been living like he's done, yeah But if he opened up his mind And he took a look inside There'd be pieces on the floor that he needs She's not sure what she wants Her heart is out of rhythm but ready to forgive him And all she needs is him, is him, is him Now she's waiting on the corner Don't ignore her my friend And she wonders if you'll make it Look she's shaking again So go and save her You should be braver than you are You don't even notice But she's broken again Now she's running through the door But he's not there anymore He upped and left without speaking a word And she doesn't tell her friends She's so ashamed has to pretend That everything is good in her world She's not sure what she wants Her heart is out of rhythm but ready to forgive him Now she's waiting on the corner Don't ignore her my friend And she wonders if you'll make it Look she's shaking again So go and save her You should be braver than you are You don't even notice But she's broken again Should have made it by now Should have made it by now Should have made it by now Should have made it by now Now she's waiting on the corner Don't ignore her my friend

Over on the corner there's a happy noise People come from all around to watch the magic boy Down on the corner, out in the street Willy and the Poorboys are playing Bring a nickel Tap your feet Down on the corner, out in the street Willy and the Poorboys are playing Bring a nickel Tap your feet Down on the corner, out in the street Willy and the Poorboys are playing Bring a nickel Tap your feet Tap your feet Willy and the Poorboys are playing Bring a nickel Tap your feet
