Love Story

I'm out on the street, all alone by the newsstand
 The lady of leisure comes tearin' by
 Almost knocking me down
 She turns at the corner and looking back
 Lets her eyes send the message, "I'm helpless alone
 And I'm goin' down"
 "Help me, I need someone gentle to love me
 My life is a miserable comedy of strangers posing as friends
 I know they don't know who I am"
 ♪
 Hurry, it's time to make your move, boy
 Hurry, you better get along with it soon, boy
 Hurry, there she goes
 Hurry, I'm out the door, boy
 
 You know you can win the battle but you can lose
 You can lose the war
 ♪
 (Hurry) Are your feet glued to the pavement, boy?
 You know you can win the battle but you can lose
 You can lose the war
 Thought I saw a fox, I did, I saw a fox amidst that sea of pride
 Running
 ♪
 Let me call a hansom cab, we'll both get in and then go for a ride
 Nowhere
 ♪
 Nothing spoken I retreat, find the subway, take a seat
 I let myself get in my way and let her get away
 ♪
 I got off the train at the next stop and headed back uptown
 I knew I could find her
 She so needed a friend
 ♪
 I found her alone in a doorway, the tears in her eyes
 Said, "There's nothing that you can say, I just need an ending"
 ♪
 I gave her the flower and got her to smile
 And asked her quite frankly
 Would she not prefer a beginning
