Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met her at the candy store
She turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture? (Yeah, we see)
That's when she fell for
The leader of the pack
[Verse 2]
Her folks were always putting me down (Down, down)
They said I came from the wrong side of town
(They said he came from the wrong side of town)
They told her that I was bad
But she knew I was sad
That's why she fell for
The leader of the pack
[Verse 3]
One day, her dad said, "Find someone new" (New, new)
She had to tell me that we were through
(What'd you mean when you say that you was really gonna find somebody new?)
I stood there and asked her, "Why?"
But all she could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you
The leader of the pack
[Verse 4]
She was so small
As she kissed me goodbye
Her tears were beginning to show
And as she drove away on that rainy night
I begged her to go slow
If she heard, I'll never know
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
[Verse 5]
I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
The gang, they all stop and stare
I can't hide my tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget her
The leader of the pack
[Verse 6]
Leader of the pack, and now she's gone
Leader of the pack, and now she's gone
Leader of the pack, and now she's gone
Leader of the pack, and now she's gone...
