Songbook (DISC 1)

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 cage 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 playing up in Michigan 
In 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
