Don Feger - Date On The Corner

DATE ON THE CORNER
(Don Feger)
DON FEGER (EBONY 102, 1958)

Drivin' and a-lookin' all around the square
Hopin' and a-wishin' that you'll be there
Standin' on the corner with everybody passing me by
Well, I called you up about an hour ago
Said you'd be there as soon as you changed your clothes
You're not here, I wanna know the reason why

Date on the corner, you said that you'd be there
You're already oh so late
Well, I guess that you don't care

Well-well, I see this other daisy, she sure looks neat
I guess I'll pick her up and let her get the load off her feet
You probably wouldn't have made it anyhow
Well, it didn't pay off for you to be so late
Because I got myself another lovely date
I'm sorry-sorry baby, because you done lost out

Date on the corner, you said that you'd be there
You're already oh so late
Well, I guess that you don't care

Well-well, I see this other chick, she sure looks neat
I guess I'll pick her up and let her get the load off her feet
You probably wouldn't have made it anyhow
Well, it didn't pay off for you to be so late
Because I got myself another lovely date
I'm sorry-sorry baby, because you done lost out
