Lyrics
There's a girl standing on the corner
Watching love walk right out her door
She thought that love was like a shiny diamond
Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw
Now she's lonely, standing there for hours
Wishin' he would change his mind
Caught in that paradox of feelings
Wonderin' why the hurt, when it used to feel so fine?
Love is a perfect imperfection...sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't you hide away; don't you hide, don't you hide
You know that there's no reason for you to be alone
Just 'cause love's treason broke, broke your happy home
How can you celebrate when all you feel is sufferin' heartache?
I'm going down to that lonely corner
Sidewalk stretches out beneath my feet
Wish I could walk, walk right up to her and tell her
What I know of love; and I know it ain't always so sweet
Love is a perfect imperfection...sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction don't you hide away
Don't you hide, don't you hide away, don't you hide
