There was this girl I used to see -
down on 42nd street
She'd walk by on her way to work -
n' make the air smell so sweet
I used to sit in a coffee shop -
sometimes I'd have a cup
And when she'd go by - she'd light up the sky
Like the sun coming up
She be standin' by the bus stop -
driver opened up the door
I'd just sit n' watch her -
getting on the 104
I wanna give her my number -
I wanna tell her my name
Wanna climb on board that cross-
town bus
Take a chance she feels the same
It's just another east side story
Everybody's got a tale to tell
And like a hundred guys before me
I fell under her spell
Some things you hold on to -
some you just let go
Seems like the ones that you can't have
Are the ones that you want most
I think about her sometimes -
I wonder if she was real
And if I ever find her
I'm gonna tell her how I feel
It's just another east side story
Everybody's got a tale to tell and
like a hundred guys before me
I fell under her spell
It's still the same old story -
it's still the same old game
Up there on the eastside -
life goes on the same
She never knew my number -
never even knew my name
She climbed on board that cross-
town bus I never saw her again
