A(Am)lone upon the (D) sidewalks of des(Am)pair
'Twas (D) there she (G) wandered (G6)
(Am) With her (D) suitcase in her (Am) hand, her (D) fate she (G) pondered (G6)
(G) Only a (C) go-go girl in (G) love with some(C)one who didn't (D) care
She (Am) met him on a (D) night so rare
When her (Am) friends were there and the (D) band was (G) groovin' (G6)

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
