Walk the Streets
Derrick Harriott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk the streets at night
Looking for someone;
Looking for someone;
You′ll never find
Whoa, darling, you might as well forget him
For he's gone, he′s said his last goodbye
I wish you had listened when you first met him
I tried to make you realize
He didn't feel the same for you
But still you thought he was your guy
Now you know the pain
Oh, that love can bring;
For he's gone, you might as well forget him
Now you know the pain
Oh, that love can bring;
For he′s gone, you might as well forget him
Walk the streets at night
Looking for someone;
Looking for someone;
You′ll never find
Whoa, darling, you might as well forget him
For he's gone, he′s said his last goodbye




For he's gone, whoa, you might as well forget him
He′s said his last goodbye, whoa, he's gone
