I was walking on the street last night
And I wonder why
He had to go away
Oh that boy, he never could stay
I was walking on the street last night
And I wonder why
He had to go away
I wonder how I'll make him stay
Lord give me clever words to say, whoa
He was walking on the street last night
And he wondered why
She had to go away
Oh that girl, she never could stay
He was walking on the street last night
And he wondered why
She had to go away
I wonder how I'll make her stay
Lord give me clever words to say, whoa.
