East Side Story Lyrics

There was this girl I used to see - down on 42nd street

 She'd walk by on her way to work - n' make the air smell so sweet

 I used to sit in a coffee shop - sometimes I'd have a cup

 And when she'd go by - she'd light up the sky

 Like the sun coming up

 She be standin' by the bus stop - driver opened up the door

 I'd just sit n' watch her - getting on the 104

 I wanna give her my number - I wanna tell her my name

 Wanna climb on board that cross-town bus

 Take a chance she feels the same

 It's just another east side story

 Everybody's got a tale to tell

 And like a hundred guys before me

 I fell under her spell

 Some things you hold on to - some you just let go

 Seems like the ones that you can't have

 Are the ones that you want most

 I think about her sometimes - I wonder if she was real

 And if I ever find her I'm gonna tell her how I feel

 It's just another east side story

 Everybody's got a tale to tell and like a hundred guys before me

 I fell under her spell

 It's still the same old story - it's still the same old game

 Up there on the eastside - life goes on the same

 She never knew my number - never even knew my name

 She climbed on board that cross-town bus I never saw her again
