Brown Mark and David Z. - Lonely Girl On Bourbon Street lyrics

There was a girl in love with me I was all she wanted to be We were young, happy and free We watched our love grow through all the years I called her my friend We used to play house with Barbie and Ken We'd ride our bikes through the park We cried together afraid of the dark If I could only see today, yesterday I could have helped her up when she was down And kept her off the streets I moved away for a while and that's when I lost my friend Her mother told me and told me that she was on her way down She wrote me a letter It was the third of its kind She told me she was happily getting married to some rich older guy I went to see it for myself And she was telling a lie I saw her walking the streets with her skirt up high I guess she told me a lie ‘Cause I saw her down on Bourbon Street She was living a life of true and false reality It really broke my heart But a friend to her, I'll always be She's just a lonely girl on Bourbon Street I don't understand, I don't know what she wants I don't understand, I don't know what she wants Our worlds always change We corrupt our minds Everybody's a treasure Let's perfect our minds Where's my little lady? Where has she gone? Where's my little lady? I think her destiny's in the street I said she wrote me a letter It was the third of its kind She told me she was happily getting married to some rich older guy I went to see it for myself And she was telling a lie I saw her walking the street with her skirt up high I guess she told me a lie ‘Cause I saw her down on Bourbon Street She was living a life of true and false reality It really broke my heart But a friend to her, I'll always be She's just a lonely girl on Bourbon Street
