Alone upon the sidewalks of despair,
t 'was there she wandered
With her suitcase in her hand,
her faith she pondered
Only a go -go girl in love
with someone who didn't care
She met him on a night so rare
when her friends were there
and the band was groovin'
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 21 she was,
a young girl just in from somewhere
He's playin' 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, 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 21, 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
with someone who didn't care
A go -go girl in love
with someone who didn't care
