Carpenters – Leader Of The Pack lyrics
I meet him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
Do you get the picture?
Yes, we see
That's when I fell for the leader of the pack

My folks were always putting him down
The said that he came from the wrong side of town
They'd told me he was bad
But I know he was sad
That's why I fell for the leader of the pack

One day my dad said find someone new
I had to tell my Johnny we're through
He stood there and asked me why
But all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you, the leader of the pack

Well, he sort of smiled and then se said goodbye
And the tears began to fall
And as he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard me I'll never know

Look out, look out, look out

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
At school they'd all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears but I don't care
I'll never forget him, the leader of the pack

The leader of the pack, but now he's gone
The leader of the pack, but now he's gone
The leader of the pack, but now he's gone
The leader of the pack, but now he's gone
