Lyrics

Is she really going out with him? Well, there she is, let's ask her Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing? (Mm-mm) Gee, it must be great riding with him Is he picking you up after school today? (Mm-mm) By the way, where'd you meet him? I met him at the candy store He turned around and smiled at me You get the picture? Yes, we see That's when I fell for the leader of the pack My folks were always putting him down (Down, down) They said, he came from the wrong side of town (What you mean when you say that he came from the wrong side of town?) They told me, he was bad, but I knew he was sad That's why I fell for the leader of the pack One day, my dad said, "Find someone new" I had to tell my Jimmy, we're through (What you mean when you say that you better go find somebody new?) He stood there and asked me why, all I could do was cry I'm sorry, I hurt you, the leader of the pack He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye The tears were beginnin' to show As he drove away on that rainy night I begged him to go slow But whether he heard, I'll never know Look out, look out, look out, look out I felt so helpless, what could I do? Rememberin' all the things we'd been through At school, they all stop and stare I can't hide the tears, but I don't care I'll never forget him, the leader of the pack (Gone, gone, gone, gone), the leader of the pack, now he's gone The leader of the pack, now he's gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone), the leader of the pack, now he's gone The leader of the pack
