[Verse 1]
Alone upon the sidewalks of despair
'Twas there she wandered
With her suitcase in her hand
Her fate 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'

[Verse 2]
Then with his glance he said
How much he'd like to meet her
How was she to know at the time
He would mistreat her?
In her case she danced for him
Although a hundred eyes were turned her way
Before the set was through he knew
She'd be his loved one

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
He's playing up in Michigan in a group
They call "The Intended"
With a promise and a kiss he was gone
The song had ended
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 ever hope to change him

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Only a go-go girl in love
With someone who didn't care
A go-go girl in love
A go-go girl in love
