There was a corner
It was the place to go
We used to meet there
Doing our whiz and blow
I had a friend there
And she was a wasted space
She tried to match me
But she couldn't stay the pace
She was a no one
She was a loser
But she had you, she had you
She had you, she had you
And I couldn't stand it
Seeing you there with her
I never told you
How much it really hurt
And I went to college
And I got a fancy car
I drop dead apartment
Now I'm a shining star
But she never made it
She's selling Avon
But she had you, she had you
She had you, she had you
She had you, she had you
She had you, she had you
I gotta have respect now
I always knew I would
'Cause I had a passport
Out of the neighborhood
And when I go back
I always see her there
Ask how she's doing
Not like I really care
She's still on the corner
She's still going nowhere
But she had you, she had you
She had you, she had you
She had you, she had you
She had you, she had you
