Back Street Girl (demo)

Jackie DeShannon, Shari Sheeley

[Verse 1]
Here I stand on the corner for the hundredth time
I must be crazy, must be losin' my mind
He belongs to somebody else
But I love him so much I just can't help myself

[Verse 2]
A few more minutes, and he'll be here
My life begins when he holds me near
I know that is wrong, I meet him secretly
But I can't let him go, he's such a part of me

[Chorus]
(Back street girl, you'll never wear his name) Oh, no
(Back street girl, his love is bringin' you shame) I don't wanna hear it
(Back street girl, why don't you lеt him be?)
(He's wreckin' your lifе, and you'll never be free)

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Why couldn't I have met him first? Why must it be my fate?
To have to hide my love for him because it came too late
He belongs to somebody else
But I love him so much I just can't help myself

[Chorus]
(Back street girl, you'll never wear his name) Oh, stop it now
(Back street girl, his love is bringin' you shame) I love him anyhow
(Back street girl, why don't you let him be?)
(He's wreckin' your life, and you'll never be free)
(Back street girl, you'll never wear his name) Oh, please don't say it
(Back street girl, his love is bringin' you shame) Stop it now
(Back street girl, why don't you let him be?)
(He's wreckin' your life, and you'll never be free)

[Outro]
(Back street girl, you'll never wear his name)
(Back street girl)
